A ring made from three generations
How we turned a grandmother's wedding band, a father's signet and a small sapphire into one new ring.
Hannah came in with a small tin: her grandmother's wedding band, her father's signet ring and a sapphire from a brooch nobody wore any more. She wanted one ring that could hold all three.
She said it felt like wearing the whole family at once. We think that's the best kind of brief.
Melting it down
We melted the two bands together and rolled the gold into a slightly wider band, so none of it was lost. The signet's crest was too worn to keep, but its weight is in every millimetre.
Setting the sapphire
The sapphire went into a low bezel, flush with the band, so it would not catch on anything. Eight weeks from the first sketch, Hannah wore it out of the studio.
