Describing this piece and just looking at it on photographs will not give you the full appreciation of this STUNNING piece. It will always be a special piece for me, since I can truly say that it is one technically magnificent piece, I've created a lot more technical pieces than this but this is a combination of different techniques to transfer it from paper to gold. My wax moulds probably surpass this in terms of complexity of design but this engagement ring and jacket set is the most challenging in terms of manufacturing. It is not mere casted out, fusing the yellow and white gold panels was quite a challenge, fitting the engagement ring into the jacket was quite a challenge as well since the bottom shank is near double the width of the shoulders(most rings taper down but this one tapers up).
GORGEOUS piece... the only piece I've crafted that would need an instruction card, the engagement ring only fits one way into the jacket. One of the wonders that simply can't be illustrated on photos... or through mere description. You just have to see it!
This gorgeous ring is one of the most technically demanding piece I have ever designed. This is a 6 piece casting engagement ring and wedding band set, the engagement ring is featuring a 1.00ct princess cut diamond set in a white gold elaborate cut out base head with a yellow gold shank. The real feature of this set is the 4 piece casting full jacket wedding band, it starts out with 10 separate pieces comprised of 2 yellow gold panels, 2 white gold(2 sets of two tone panels where made by joining these yellow and white gold panels), hand crafted tubings bridges the 2 separate sides and 4 hand crafted white gold screw accents to complete the superb finish.
