It's hard to believe summer is almost over! I haven't had a chance to write about this incredible custom mens ring I had the honor to make! This was a special project for someone who reached out to me from Australia. Tys had recently had a job promotion and had promised himself this ring once he achieved it. It was so much fun to work with someone who had such a clear vision for what they wanted. He had very specific ideas of each aspect of the ring.
After he sent me some photo references i was able to put together a photoshop mock up of the ring that looked like this:
Once i found the perfect ruby I got to work on the wax! To accommodate the stone we made the band a little taller then the photoshop rendering. Also, we decided to make the ridges more uneven and organic feeling as opposed to straight across as the photoshop file had been.
The ring has many subtle textures on the band, bezel, and ridges to give it a more aged and antique look. It was so much fun to work on it as I was able to use different approaches then I have with my more recent designs.
The final piece was cast in 10K yellow gold and features a gorgeous Ruby center and one gray diamond in the top right.
It was such an honor to make this ring and help bring something Tys had only imagined and thought about to life. Wishing much continued success to Tys!
And the ring on his hand ;)
