In ‘her’ final setting

[MackPUK]

I picked up the completed ring today!!

Thanks to this forum not only for help & guidance in selecting a stone but I also picked up a recommendation for a London Goldsmith that could hand forge the setting.

So, I thought I’d share a couple of completed pics.

Thanks. Im sure it will look a lot nicer on her pretty finger rather than my hairy digit.

Thank you. The goldsmith was brilliant - he loves the Rex Collet design and hand crafts every piece from scratch - he has done a lot of much ‘fancier’ rings but I loved the timeless elegance of this and the details he creates compared to a typical cast ‘Tiffany’ replica (or even the real thing!) like the more scalloped areas between the prongs and the subtle tapering and pinch of the shoulder etc.

He mentioned this was the biggest hand forged Rex collet he has done to date so enjoyed the process!
