platinum tourmaline ring
When a client comes to me with a spectacular stone, my goal is to design a ring that enhances the natural beauty of the gem. this stunning green tourmaline called for 18k yellow gold, but also wanted extra light to brighten the depth of green color. so once I fabricated the bezel, I began organically “melting” out parts of the gold, to allow light to flow through the setting.
the forged platinum bar ring is a foundation piece for me, I love the way the concave shape of the ring nestles the stone down just enough so that it doesn’t stand up too high off the ring.
