Greyhound Solitaire
Greyhound Solitaire
A lot of thoughts and little inspirations I’ve collected over the years went into the design and carving of this ring. A bit of that terra cotta Greek chalice I saw in a museum once, the flow and swirl of medieval illuminated manuscripts, some of that whimsy I see in old frescoes or tapestries, those puppy dog eyes... A little something unique and unexpected encircling what might otherwise have ended up only a very normal diamond in a very normal solitaire.
Please note this ring is priced as the mounting only WITHOUT the diamond, 14K gold. I price it this way so you may select your preferred diamond budget and quality. Because of the nature of the design, the stone that fits best in this ring has dimensions of roughly 8mm x 4.5mm (~.60ct) and a length-width ratio of 1.76-1.77. Please find more details below in the Customization Options.

This ring is hand carved in wax by me in my Portland studio using pointy tools, and then cast using the lost-wax method. Each ring is a highly detailed work of art with great attention to detail at every angle; this ring in particular has a delicious weighty feel.
