Custom Wedding Rings 8-19--08

This week I am working on a set of custom wedding rings for clients in Colorado. They chose a design from the website (the Four Seasons ring) and asked to modify it to suit what they were looking for. The original design was engraved by hand under the microscope, but since they wanted to see a variety of options I re-created the ring using Rhino, the 3D software I make a lot of jewelry with. Here is the rendering for the final ring: These is a picture of the wax that comes from the digital printer. You can see the spiral design is basically laid out, and I will hand-engrave the final rings after they are cast and finished, to give them a more defined cut, and a little bit of a 'hand-made' feel.
