Helix

Inspiration comes from a lot of places.

This customer wanted to give her daughter a special ring with some family diamonds. Her daughter was studying biology so we came up with a double helix design. Creating this one was a bear but it came out beyond cool

Simple and realy cooool

This is another customer that came in with a solid idea, we just had to make the design work. Holding the diamond with just rails was scary but I was able to sneak in an under carrage that worked great.

Customers design

Often a customer comes in with a design. Often its a great concept but the enginering needs work. This was the case with this one. This one came out just right. I tweaked the customers design to make everything work. No prongs we were able to use the leaves to hold the stone. We scanned the customers drawing into the computer then used it as the background as we built the cad model over the image. Once we added the exact size stone and moved things around we came up with a great design.

Matching bands

Finding a matching band is one of the hardest things to find. Many E rings come with them but more dont. This customer wanted an exact match so we scanned her E ring and used that to build the wedding band.It came out perfect the shanks match and everything ligns up.

Reverse cradle

We are seeing more and more people wanting reverse cradle rings. This is where the wedding band fits into the e ring.

Very cool idea and very wearable.

Design is design

Took a road trip to American Chopper home, OCC in New York. Lots of Bikes on display lots of great design. I love the constant curves that flow from one to another. I believe that the arc of a curve is so important in design if its jewelry or motorcycles.
Back to designing. Today I m working on yet another reverse cradle ring. That's where the wedding band fits in to the engagment ring.

Catching up.
I mentioned a white ring with yellow millagrain here it is. One of my favorites this summer. Customers stone we polished out some of the scratches.
Also here is the finished x ring I spoke of earlier.
