Fox & Phillip Custom Tourmaline Ring

 Details:

• 18k yellow gold with a matte finish
• Using Phillip's 7.78ct Tourmaline
• Finger size 6.25

Some of the more specific design details we discussed together:

• Able to see as much of the stone as possible from the side view 
• Make the shank (band part of the ring) feel as 'light' as possible - this is a matter of ensuring there is enough structural stability for the stone, as well as opening up the design into light feeling 'strands'

 Drawing notes:

• Ultimately, the details for this design will be finished on the goldsmithing bench, including hand finishing of the metal.  These drawings look bulkier, and "prongier" than in real life. 
• The drawings only attempt to show the details described.  Please keep in mind that they are essentially sketches. Metal color, sheen, and sparkle are only approximated. 
• The views shown here are enlarged to show you detail, please keep in mind that everything is much smaller in reality.

Please note - the prongs that hold the stone in place will be finished by hand on the jeweler's bench - it is not possible for me to show you the exact shaping of the finished prongs in these drawings.
