Designing a Caged Stone Ring, Again
This time I went with a rose gold and multiple blue sapphires. Some of the most beautiful rings I’ve ever seen have been that color combo. Something about those colors just look gorgeous together. It also creates a strong contrast which will really show off the caged stone design. But instead of going with a large bulbous bird cage like shape, I went with something that was still large and bold, but smoother and more practical to wear. The cage bars are positioned to generally cover the edges of the stone, but show off the table, or most of the face of the stone. It also uses bars crisscrossing this time to create a sturdier, yet elegant design.
The sketch is rather rough and leaves plenty of room for further refinement, like maybe twisting the bars for more visual interest in the minor details of the ring. But what do you think? Would you wear this? Do you think my mom will still want to wear it? What would you change? And do you feel like you can relate to the caged stones? If you do, I’d love to hear why. I feel like this ring could lead to a lot of interesting stories. What do you think?
