Jewelry Redesign Story #74: Earrings Are Made to Wear
THE REDESIGN CHALLENGE:
Lyndsay has had this diamond band ring from her family for a long time but never found herself wanting to wear it. Lyndsay didn’t think the ring fit into her style or went with any of her wardrobe so she decided to have the ring redesigned into something that she knew she would actually wear: a pair of modern earrings!
THE REDESIGN CONCEPT
Sketches
Lyndsay loves earrings so she figured something that would go with her assortment of earrings, which she wears multiple of at a time, would be a great use for the diamonds in this heirloom family piece. Lyndsay thought that a pair of stud earrings would be a great way to incorporate a new jewelry item into her existing collection and would be something that she would be excited to wear in a variety of ways.
After we provided a number of different sketches for Lyndsay to choose from, she decided on a design that is very modern and geometric -- something we love to design at Studio Remod!
THE REDESIGN PROCESS:
Rhino modeling
First we drafted our Rhino CAD model, an important step to make sure that we were using the correct dimensions from the diamonds that were available to us from Lyndsay’s original piece.
Casting
Once we had the CAD design ready we were able to cast and see that the ring was perfect and we were ready to set the stones that we already had finalized the design.
THE REDESIGN REVEAL:
