The initial concept for this ring came very quickly. We wanted two stones that represented the couple but we wanted it to look like one when it was set in the ring.
Once we had the concept sketched out I needed to work out what was the best size and shape for the main stones. Then we had to go out and find the stones. In this case we found a matched pair of pair shapes that had exactly the same cut and had the perfect colors. We got a bit lucky. Here is where I scanned the customers sketch into the computer and overlay ed the stone shapes and a basic ring rail.
This ring was one of the most difficult designs I have done in a while. The concept came quickly to me and my customer, but actually creating the perfect design was a bear. Each curve is based off of the line of the two matching center stones. I wanted to keep the two stones as close as possible but not touching. If the stones touched they could chip each other. Once I got all the curves so that they not only looked right but would securely hold the stones.
The render showed how amazing this could be but renders never show color as well as you want.
On the hand I wanted the two stones to look like one bi colored stone. I didn't want any straight lines.
This ring came out beautiful.
I love the way the colors compliment each other.
