Amber Snake Engagement Ring
I get a lot of really different requests from people, but this piece took the cake.
My client first asked if I could work with amber (I can work with anything a customer can provide or that I can buy) and then sent me a quick computer sketch of what he was looking for as far as design.
He wanted the amber in the center with a snake going around the stone eating its tail. He also wanted intricate filigree work on the sides of the shank. I knew this piece wouldn’t be easy since designs with a lot of detail or that don’t use simple shapes are difficult to create in my CAD program, but I was up to the challenge.
I spent hours working on this snake head and then on the filigree on the sides. Here are the renders I sent my customer:
He loved the design and we went ahead with manufacturing in Sterling Silver with a 6mm Amber cabochon center stone.
The finished piece turned out better than I could have hoped and I hope his girlfriend loves it!!
