I got handed a bag of jewels to transform into several new ideas, one of which was a white gold gents Garnet ring with white Sapphire shoulders.
We had a fair amount of metal to work with, I set about carefully removing stones, sectioning the metal to be used for the manufacture of three new pieces using their Diamonds and Garnets.
For this first piece they loved my design using mixed metals so I recreated this piece for them balancing proportion to metal to make sure the central impressive Garnet looked at its very best.
Enclosing the Garnet totally in a rub-over setting I felt would dampen its refraction so I elevated the setting to include channels to allow side light in and setting it upside down to show its rose cut cabouchon under side gave it a completely new look transforming the stone from slightly worn and hidden it its setting to beautifully glinting as the light hits its facets.
Very pleased with the resulting Pinkie ring.
