That is an incredible amount of thought, design, skill, and craftsmanship. There is such an immense amount of work that goes into a custom made piece of jewelry - thanks for sharing!

It's important to see how much labor goes into a hand crafted piece. The finish on your piece is wonderful, and the details are delightful. That old cut pavilion undergallery is so fun-shows how each element has a story. Love seeing the artistry through each stage of the crafting process. Enjoy your new chunkster!![]()

wow AJ - thank you for sharing this amazing process and a big thank you to RDG for taking the time to document the steps
I am sure I will come back again and again to oggle this thread!! I am fascinated with how rings are put together!!
the perfect finish of your ring blows my mind!!

Art Nouveau said:arjunajane: Thanks for posting the 'from start to finish pictures' of your custom ring. It is very interesting to see the process of how a custom piece is hand fabricated. Your finished ring is gorgeous. RDG does fabulous work. Too bad they are in another continent. Otherwise I would use them for custom work. I am not sure how much custom duties will have to be paid when the finished piece comes back to the US.

How many days did it take to finish the ring?
This post makes me appreciate my two custom pieces so much more now.

Do you know what is done with the waste gold and platinum?
