two colours gold ring

[Wallace]

this is my second gold commission, and this one is at full rate, rather than a friends rate! It is set with aquamarines and diamonds between 1.9mm -2.00mm

this was originally going to be using the customers own yellow ring, but we discussed the hallmarking loss on it and due to the sentimental value, decided to go with a 'replica'

the design request is a thumb ring to include three rings, three stones in aquamarine and in diamond, and heart shaped vine/ivy

I did really enjoy working with white gold. Melting a scrap ring and some wire to make a small sheet to cut out the 'leaves' was a great experience. Soldering was done with lots of blanking off. One white mount didn't fully take, or cope with the polishing stages - so a trip back to the soldering bench, half a bottle of tippex (little exaggeration!), as I was getting in a mess with rouge; and it was done. Off for it's hallmark tomorrow. Very excited. Customer is very happy.


this is on my FB page, but wanted to share here too.

I'm not surprised - that's a really stunning piece of work! It's a pity you can only post a picture and not pass it round hand to hand. I bet it's as good to touch and hold as it is to look at - I can imagine the wearer forever fiddling with it! Am I allowed to ask what carat golds you have used? Presumably one would always use the same carat when combining different colours?
