GS: New Life to an Old Ring, part 2

After finishing this men's ring, I couldn't help myself, I had to make a part 2 of the 'New Life to an Old Ring.' Who knows, maybe this can become a series!

We started off with a 14K yellow gold men's estate ring. It tapers from the top to the bottom and had a concave top surface with Florentine engraving. Now, we lucked out because it was a perfect fit.

The client had designed very specific symbol that he wanted engraved to the ring. So, first I removed the engraved surface and took a bit of the height off the concave section...




Second, I added a center line around the while ring with a saw blade (which is part of the design.)


And finally, the new engraving was added to the top surface...





This ring is the mate to the woman's band in part 1. Here they are together...
