Scorpio in 14k white and yellow gold with Diamond

 This is yet another of my favorite design.  This one was to re-create a wedding ring for a friend.

 

 

Construction Photos:

She had a wedding ring with a good diamond, but she didn't enjoy the setting style any more.  So I cut it apart.

I rolled the think white gold into thin wire.

These will be joined to go on either side of the band.

 

 

 

I used some other gold I had, so that there were many shades of gold in the design.

 

These shapes were cut with a die cutter, circle press.

I was making five at the same time.   The one with mostly round, bubble like, is for my friend Candi.

 

 

Rounded up, and seam soldered.

 

 

 

The white gold rings must fit exactly before I solder them.

 

 

 

 

14k Masonic Ring - My Ring

 

 This is one of the few items I have made for myself. 

 It is a shell from Scotland with the Square and Compasses insignia of the Freemasons set in 14k rose gold.

 

 

Construction Pictures:

That little piece of wire is 14k gold solder, and it will be used to join the seam of the ring.

Next, file the shank down so it meets the bezel.

Four "chits' of solder to flow into the seal on the second bezel.

Ready to set the shell into the bezel.
