Nostalgia Ring
Re-Inventing an Heirloom
This project began as an effort to make one ring of three. I started with my wife's father's wedding band, her mother's wedding band, and her first engagement ring and wedding band. I disassembled the rings, alterred, to what degree necessary, all of them and reassembled them into one new, reinvented heirloom.
A ring that I had made previously, the inspiration for the new ring.
Dad's ring.
Mom's ring
Engagement ring and wedding band.
Tiny bezel set stones will work.
I only need the shanks from these.
Dad's ring, we'll just open and turn inside out.
Bezel set stones - still in their original bezel. Making progress
Rough still, but coming together nicely.
The finished piece, exactly as I had sketched it in my Moleskine.
