Ring Designs




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.
