TVDS
This gorgeous ring is one of the most technically demanding piece I have ever designed. This is a 6 piece casting engagement ring and wedding band set, the engagement ring is featuring a 1.00ct princess cut diamond set in a white gold elaborate cut out base head with a yellow gold shank. The real feature of this set is the 4 piece casting full jacket wedding band, it starts out with 10 separate pieces comprised of 2 yellow gold panels, 2 white gold(2 sets of two tone panels where made by joining these yellow and white gold panels), hand crafted tubings bridges the 2 separate sides and 4 hand crafted white gold screw accents to complete the superb finish.

This ring was created for a client to showcase the 6.5mm round brilliant cut (approximation in size since this stone was provided by the client and no formal appraisal was done by our store).
It's a very simple yet very elegant design, one thing was very clear from the start of the project, the design should be as simple as possible. So this particular ring is simplified elegance, it's a 1 piece cast ring that features a swirl to set the stone in a half bezel. It has a very well exposed side opposite to the half bezel, where the diamond is showcased as if it's suspended in the air.
