Renaissance Ring

I recently completed a beautiful Renaissance style ring and thought I would share some pictures of my process.  I met with a client who had her mother's diamond engagement and wedding rings on a chain around her neck.  She asked me to design a ring using the three diamonds as well as incorporating the wedding band into the ring.  I used the wedding band to create the little balls that adorn the ring.  I think it turned out beautifully!

Starting out- the main elements of the ring are done and now bezels are to be made for the diamonds.
