That's really very beautiful, I'm glad you got to finish it.
It has a lot of interesting details.
The pattern (granulation ?) on the side is striking,
and the honeycomb setting has be wondering "how'd he do that"?

Thanks for showing it,
Patty

Yuri, I'm very sorrowed that you're having to go through what you are. I pray for a quick and just end to the strife!

As far as the ring...WOW! I've never seen a design like this! Your creativity and execution are phenomenal!

Thank you ! I work in the technique of hand carving on model wax and casting. Of course there is soldering and chasing. I'll try to show photos next time with the stages of work. Actually it's not that difficult. But for such forms, a casting apparatus is needed. I have the simplest - centrifugal KERR.

That would be wonderful.

I was going to say you cast the ring- but then thought, nope, not that simple, it probably was done with multiple techniques. .

Love to see the process.

Thanks,

Patty

Your ring is such a fine and unique work of art, Yurii! Thank you for posting it.

Your setting looks like it is physically held by the "prongs" of the band. Is that correct, or is the setting also soldered to the band?

I love this ring design! It is gorgeous. Normally I'm not fond of really large stones (18 cts. is pretty big), but this one I would wear.

Well done!

The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
