Super Special Gifts
I know my last several posts have been rings for couples but I also get smaller requests for very special gifts.
This client asked me to design a small abstract angel wing pendant for her sister. I had a perfect picture in my head of how I would do it, the problem was transferring it to the computer and making it small enough for the pendant but not too small for my jeweler. I sent her several ideas and eventually settled on the last picture in this series.
She decided to go with 14K white gold since the piece is a special gift for her sister.
The big different between this piece and some other pieces I have made, is that this one was not cast. It started with a plain sheet of gold and the jeweler used a saw to cut out the shape. Then they soldered the ring to the top and it was finished! It is really neat what you can do with just a sheet of gold and a saw (this piece just breaks the surface)!
I finished the piece with a special engraved message on the back that said “To my angel flying too close to the ground.”
I hope her sister loves it!
