Inspired by J. R. R. Tolkien
"The Lord of the Rings"
"The Ring of Barahir", Rendered in Platinum & 22Kt gold...
A Timeless Mystical Treasure Ring for all the Ages!


Here's the scan of the original art :)
When I saw how Randal "saw this" I knew that I had the honor of creating a timeless treasure for Randal, a one of a kind "Ring 0f Barahir," that was both meaningful and elegant... A dream project, with every expectation of becoming a world class ultra-fine jewelry project. More creative projects come from internet in a week than a decade from disinterested sales clerks, "I love my new world!"... ..you will too...

Here's a side/exploded view of the original art :)
"Up close and personal" is the way to go for information, and don't think that all projects need such extreme definition, but when you do take the time to let me "see" what you "see" amazingly wonderful things can, and do, happen quite regularly here, you see... {Grin}... Experience matters.

A lovely shot of that clay mock-up too :)
My ability to make what you want is in direct measure to the quality of the information provided, I have to count on my clients to show me what they like. The infinite possibilities we don't have time to explore, but when an idea has bubbled over in your mind (like did in the mind of Randal) we're more than able to make your dream come true... Once we see the path ahead with you, we're off on a remarkable journey no less exciting.

A close view of the top :)
The finely crafted multi-piece wax is assembled, to the exact specifications I shamelessly ad :) Special order is tricky, so to build successfully it was critical to understand what Randal saw, and we did :) Once I was sure that I did fantastic things resulted :)

Here's a detailed view of the Crown Area
Carved to exacting specifications, when combined into the whole ring the result is clear. For creativity and imagination I take my hat off to Randal, and surely in the world of creative fine jewelry there's hardly a better job to point to as an example of what we can do... With the paper cut-out that we had, and with all the detail and the "coolness"build in from the start, a treasured result is to be expected.

Here's a separated view, the last step before casting the platinum & 18Kt halves!
This is where the fitting done, the translation done using experience, taste and skill won over decades at the bench, doing the work, this is where the project is won or lost... By doing carefully digital snaps and wax approvals even the most complex and extra-ordinary special order requests can be done, better for less... If you've ever thought about the cost of those cases of dead inventory in those rows of cases, and the huge percentage paid to lease a store in a mall, you have to realize the 300% markups are a part of that... ...here, we do jewelry, with real people, and turn dreams into reality, in precious metals and gems...
Here's the Finished Ring!!!!

Of the purest of gold and platinum treasured by man,
forged of the noblest of metals, and rendered by hand,
unique above all, across all the known land...
A Precccccciousssss delight for the hand of a man.

for it was clear Randal in a vision had seen clearly.
the ring, and the prize, which he wanted so dearly
so we found it together, and you see what we sought,
and what clarity, and vision, and hard work has brought...

For Dreamers and real people with a vision, we're here
to help you find your own treasure, and what you hold dear
and with experience, and valor we will rise to the task
so dream big here grasshopper, you need but to ask...
Commissioned and formed to capture the magic of a fine idea that was going unheeded. It was a pleasure to build this to our customer's amazingly fine specification, and this thread shall remain here for eternity, or as long as the web is alive, or which ever comes first, as a reminder that jewelry is one of the magical objects in the world... Designed to delight the owner, and all who view it, we take pride of showing you that... ...in fact (grin), while we bid this in 18Kt we went for the 22Kt+ Karat to bring out the color of "GOLD" to offset the ultra-white "PLATINUM" for the best result... Things always work out berst when it's the jewelry that matters, yes? One of a kind, for Randal and while I will not build this ring again, I think that this shows you that when I say "We can build anything" I am not just a sales-clerk making noise, like you have undoubtably suffered, but rather a master craftsman, diamond setter, designer and diamond broker, on the internet, at your schedule...
