First off, I’m not sure which board to put this in. My apologies if I started this in the wrong place.
This is a small, but extremely meaningful project. I have a silver band that my mother wore for almost 30 years. She rode horses and was not gentle on anything. Since her passing I’ve had her band, in a box, never enjoyed, but much loved.
I timidly reached out to Sako for help engraving it. He timidly reached out back since I did include a picture. It’s bad. He was thinking I wanted the engraving to look as it did before. It used to have a flower with flourished leaves. I know what it used to look like as a child, I even drew a terrible picture for him.
Once he realized I just wanted this ring reborn and to live on in her honor, he was so very kind, and relaxed. And excited to help me. I gave him free reign to do as he wishes. But likely it will be floral and flourishes. I included a sample of a possibility below. If the metal is thick enough he may add sapphires I sent him, it was her birthstone.
Some may be horrified I’m restoring /destroying her ring. But it just sits there.... what I’m hoping is this inspires someone.
