that’s a beautiful design - maybe it’s because i need more coffee but how is this designed to be worn? regardless if i owned it i’d find ax way for it to be seen 😍
When I lost my first engagement ring, I could only afford to replace it with a moissanite. The moissanite definitely has more fire but the double refraction makes it oddly bright in sunlight. I found myself missing my diamond and ended up getting a lab diamond upgrade. Both beautiful gems in ever so slightly different ways.
Thanks, that's interesting to know. Btw, do you mind sharing what felt oddly bright about moissanite specifically? Was it too noticeable/distracting in your periphery vision? Haven't heard someone comment that about them before.
You mean like a ring in and of itself, so that you put your finger through? I’ve tried that actually, but to make it comfortable you need to make the struts quite thin and the gaps tiny, and since the whole shape is one single line, it’s going to be quite prone to bending and misaligning when made from silver or gold.
It’s actually a problem with tables like this, they are quite wobbly unless welded from thick square steel tubing, and even then they’re not really solid.
It’s possible to make the ring both wearable and stiff in one orientation though.
Besides the gem setting it's made with SubDs in Rhino. I made the basic shape out of simple faces, offset it and added/deleted/moved around various edges to refine the shape. After that I converted it to nurbs and added other details. Top row has subd smoothing turned off, bottom row has it on. Two images on the right are nurbs, shown with and without emap.
I just saw this magazine in "random magazines" so I don't really have an insider's ability to appreciate it, but as an outsider to this craft, WOW!!!!!! this is so cool! I love it so much!
