To start the process I sketched out the rings by hand + then had my old friend + mentor, Philadelphia jeweler Krikor Yeremian<\/a> create computer aided drawings (CAD) of them. The CAD drawings can be seen on my website here<\/a>. After Krikor created the drawings we then e-mailed them to Roy + Ada for approval. Once the designs were approved they were sent out to be cast + then were finished. <\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

All 3 rings are 14K white gold + the engagement ring has the diamond from Roy’s mother’s engagement ring tube set by Garo Yeremian <\/a>(who I trust with ALL my stone setting!) on the side. I can’t tell you enough how thrilled I am with these rings, they really came out brilliant. If you or anyone you know is interested in having me make their one-of-a-kind rings you can email me at heather@heatherskowoodjewelry.com<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

Congratulations Roy + Ada much love + happiness to you both! See you on The Big Day in Baltimore!<\/span><\/div>\n
