Grossular garnet rings

Red Grossular Garnet Ring.  Size 7
First came the silver ring with a red grossular garnet.  Then came the palladium white gold version with a green one.  These rings have four layer construction with complex partial settings.  These are built to last!  The bands have been built "backwards" so that the seam is at the top of the ring.  This increases the strength of the ring significantly.  The silver ring was created as a practice for the gold one.   Creating a practice ring helps me to work out any kinks in a potential design before committing to gold.  The stones are about 1 carat each.  The green garnet ring is not for sale, as it was a custom ordered engagement ring.  The red garnet ring is however available.  It is a size 7 and is $1125 including insured ups shipping.   Also attached are photos of my original sketch and the final rendering used in production.  Garnets are from Africa.  Enjoy the pictures!  -Andy
