Before and After

THE REDESIGN CHALLENGE:

Rebecca came to us with a diamond eternity ring: her engagement ring. After a change in her marital status, she thought it would be the right time to remake her engagement ring into something that still provides her with excitement -- only now it would be something new that would celebrate her new chapter in life! 

Rebecca always wanted to own a diamond link bracelet that is both classic and wearable while still being an item that she feels special owning and wearing and she thought this was the perfect opportunity to make exactly that. 

THE REDESIGN CONCEPT:

Sketches

During our meeting, we worked with Rebecca to find the right length for the bracelet. Bracelets are a tricky item of jewelry to create since they have a tendency to twist and flip during wear. To create an item that would avoid this, we measured her wrist and then calculated a length that would fit her tightly enough without being too tight so as to be uncomfortable. We also had to make sure that the length of the bracelet would fit the 19 diamonds that Rebecca brought to us to incorporate into the redesigned piece.

THE REDESIGN PROCESS:

 Rhino modeling

During Rhino modeling we were able to test out setting thickness and chain sizes to go along with the measurements we took. Based on these models, we realized that we would need an extra diamond in order to match the design to the necessary length which we were then able to source before the casting.

Casting

We went through a few rounds of castings to make sure all of the various details were suitable to the final design before completing the cast. Finally, we casted all 20 diamonds in their bezel settings.

THE REDESIGN REVEAL:
