The rings that are shown in this small collection are fast thoughts based on a previous ring that I designed. I thought I would show a few other concepts in this style keeping them simple without to much elaboration. The theme has basically a center layout with a thin wire sub support in there shanks. The shanks are all derived from the same concept , a double wire concept giving some volume without mass. this is a very light weight concept. Another thing that should be noticed is when I was doing the rough layouts I noticed that there might be an interesting concept that could develop if I used a mirror showing a reflection of the first style .  When I turned the mirror at different angles it stimulated my imagination to see a new concept. Can you se those concept in these designs shown on this page. What I would like to offer in the next layout sheet are the different side views and how I do those layouts. I hope you might find this interesting. Comment or Con...
