A client led variation with a marine theme.

This client visited my workshop one day and brought along a magnificent bluish green cabochon cut Tourmaline. She liked the pierced ring series and also the marine themed items I was making at the time. What evolved was a pierced shank in 18K white gold, a setting in 18K yellow gold, with wave shapes modelled around the base of the setting. In addition a starfish motif and a small damsel fish, together with some small diamonds in yellow gold collets, turned the completed ring into a visual feast.

Item details:

• Ring shank in 18K white gold.
• Settings and marine motifs in 18K yellow gold.
• Stones: Client's own bluish green cabochon cut Tourmaline and small diamonds.
