Family Crest Ring

A friend requested that I design a family crest ring for him and his family members as gifts. The Hebrew letter 'shin' on the front of the ring represents the first letter of his last name, while other symbols, such as the book and motto on the back, were chosen by his family.

I initially printed the first prototype through Shapeways in a more affordable bronze material. The final rings and matching pendants were printed in sterling silver. Regrettably, I didn't have the opportunity to photograph the pendants before they were sent as gifts.
