Sculptural Ring - Plain Jane

Perspective
 
I feel that the front profile of the ring looks a bit plain compared to the sides, I think I should try and experiment by either adding a design or stones or maybe both.

Revised Design - Infinity Ring

 
 



 
Being pressured to complete the ring on time, I completely forgot to put up the renderings of the revised design for the infinity ring. The client had asked for the ring width to be reduced. This is just another way of CAD making life easier by being able to tweak and edit the existing file efficiently to suit the clients new request.    


Sculptural Ring Idea




 
I am currently on the verge of designing and manufacturing a ring that is based loosely on my sculpture. It isn't the common run of the mill ring that you usually see, it is like a miniature minimalistic sculpture that is able to be worn on your finger. For me, the most significant aspect of the creation of this ring was to create something unique and different. The renderings are just a starting point for this ring design as I plan on creating a collection of these rings, using the sculptural shape created above.

Ring shape idea

 

Whilst trying to organize my papers I stumbled upon a drawing which I did towards designing for Anglo Platinum. The shape of the ring is very interesting and i feel that there could be something more to this drawing. I want to create a range of rings based loosely around the shape of these rings

Design @ 50

 

I was going through all the pamphlets I collected at Jewellex and stumbled upon this.....it's a commercial jewellery design centre based around the use of CAD. Really tempted to do this after I complete my B-tech as I feel that it will help me improve my skills as well as speed using CAD to design jewellery

Ring cutter






This was the tool that was used to cut the ring off the clients finger. 

Wrong ring size

 

So this is what happens when your client decides to propose to his girlfriend and gives you the wrong finger size...her finger swelled up so much that the ring had to be cut off due to it not being able to come off. Have to admit, it was a shame that the rings had to be wrecked but it was really interesting seeing how to cut off a ring without harming the wearer.
