Custom Ring

I just finished this custom ring for a client who wanted a commemorative ring for her late dog "Chupey". There is a picture of her dog under a clear quartz stone and "My friend Chupey" roller printed on the sides of the bezel cup. Which proved to be a little difficult, because the words have to be etched onto brass backwards and then roller printed onto silver. Because the stone is faceted on the top, I chose to use prongs because I think it adds a little more drama to the ring. I am very happy with the finished product and my client was as well. I was actually a little nervous that it would end up looking a little cheesy. I don't usually do commemorative pieces, especially for a pet; but I am very happy with the end result. I think the ring looks classy and elegant. What a great way to remember your best friend.
