RIVER OF LIFE:
Everyone knows I do like a bit of a challenge...well this interlocking pair of rings has it all. A recycled gold and gem open ring with a Putney River inspired silver wavey ring to fit inside it. I'll hand make the gold ring, then hand carve in wax and cast in silver for the other one.
My client had a beautiful rhodolite garnet which we're polishing slightly more oval so it fits the overall design better. This will go opposite the biggest garnet and diamond.
For the silver ring we're adding a new London Blue Topaz to be flush set along with some smaller diamonds and regular garnets.
Each ring will be wearable on their own too.
We'd been tempted to use the big amethyst from another ring but have agreed to save that and use just the gold. When you are faced with a pile of potential it can be hard to step back and not use everything.
I'll be able to start making this once I have the new shape rhodolite garnet back in a few weeks.
The last slide shows a very rough mock up using whatever rings I had to hand. Sometimes I just need a physical example in front of me to make sure the idea in my head will work. 🧡
