Obviously, she said YES


The matching wedding band

My own interpretation of the customers father’s very old money clip. I wanted to keep the old style look and feel.

This was based on a clipping a customer brought in from a magazine

I notched the underside so the rings would lock together

I can’t remember what this started out as, but i made it into a belt buckle,

and the back

There is a trick to making them fit right.

The finished product

Another hand fabricated pendant, done about the same time as the citrine one mentioned several post earlier.

Initial carving from customers rough sketch. I worked in an oval stone she had, but never thought to add.

Pendant after casting, setting, and polishing.

Made using customers stones. Hand carved wax, cast in 14k white gold.

Hand fabricated to match the customers existing ring.

I am very excited about this piece. I have been working on it for about a month now, waiting for the Lapidary to finish the cutting.

I ended up having to do the stone cutting myself, it’s been one of the hardest jobs I have had to date.
