Commissioned piece
David — Family Crest Signet
The brief
David inherited his grandfather's signet, but it was too small and the crest was worn. He wanted a modern version with the same crest, in a weight he could actually wear daily.
How it was built
We 3D-scanned the original crest, redrew the lines in CAD, and cast a new ring in 18K yellow gold. The face is 18mm — slightly slimmer than the original — with a comfort-fit shank. We kept the old ring as a keepsake for him.
Where the design changed
Iterations are kept on file with the client's comments, because the second version usually explains the final piece better than the first render does.
