01 — The brief, in words only
“A grandfather’s signet ring, worn thin at the band, was remade for his granddaughter — same gold, same crest, new proportions for a smaller hand.”
Client briefs are anonymised and abstracted. Original reference images are never published — they stay in the private project record.

How the design settled
- R1The original crest was laser-scanned before melting, so the engraving data is archived forever.
- R2The old gold was refined and re-alloyed to 18k; the new ring is 100% the grandfather’s metal.
- R3Crest re-engraved by hand from the scan; interior carries the original 1961 date mark.
