Naval Academy Accompaniment
Posted in Blog, Uncategorized on Apr 17, 2015
A friend recommended someone who upholds American freedom in many ways. A criminal defense lawyer who attended the Naval Academy, he stays active and his beautiful wife is fierce with a firearm. This duo is an amazing couple in ways I am incapable of describing. I had a great time making the rings he asked me to design and create.
First is an engagement ring which required little bit of covert operations and then the wedding bands. The beautiful bride never had a chance to decide what either would look like. The groom and I designed both!
“She loves hearts” so we handmade this platinum diamond mounting with 18K gold hearts.

Curved but it’ll fit perfectly!

Now for the ladies’ band; I curved it to accomodate the oval center diamond and the heart design we made.
