Designing an Engagement Ring
Posted in Blog, Jewelry on Mar 18, 2015
My customer’s son heard about me, surprisingly, not from his dad! Delighted to hear that he wanted to propose to his girlfriend, we designed a ring just for her. I had to keep it a secret and that is why other friends recommended me and not his dad. His family didn’t know!!
After telling me a little about his girlfriend (what she does for a living, what her family heritage is, how active she is in sports, her likes and dislikes in fashion) I came up with a design and created it in wax and then in white gold. I decided something simple and elegant but showcasing her culture in the ring. Here is a Celtic Engagement Ring I designed.
