My First Twist Ring

 

I am always learning and being challenged in the workshop. I have recently made my first twist style engagement ring. Here are a few examples of this style of ring.

I love the look of these rings as the design really highlights the stone being held in the twist.

I have really enjoyed the making process, particularly working the metal to perfectly fit the size and shape of the stone. Although the stone sits securely in its setting, the ring is made to look like the two pieces of metal are just delicately holding onto the stone. I think this really shows off its beauty.

Now that I have got the main part of the ring just perfect, I am now working on slimming down the rest of the band slightly to the exact width and depth needed. There are a few more stages to go before it looks anything like these rings pictured above!!
