The starting point for the creation of this "Sea Foam" ring was the wish to draw inspiration from the famous print by the japanese painter Hokusai  "The Great Wave off Kanagawa".
This resulted in a representation of the movements of foam
  (debossed) to give the feeling of power of the chaotic movement of the sea. 
The choices are oriented towards a solid silver ring and a stone of the Aquamarine type of significant size (12mm) and a mixed setting in tension and 2 complementary prongs to secure the gem

An additional request, following this work inspired by the japanese painter Hokusai, was to create a ring conforming to the detail of the movements  so peculiar from the crest of the wave, similar to claws or spearheads.

This pattern of herringbone was  a request of the client who wanted a ring without a gem at the same time geometric and refined.

The client explicitly wanted a tension setting where the stone is suspended from the edges of the setting.
Overlapping rings secure each an edge of the stone
The final choice han been an aquamarine gem matching perfectly with a black rhodium ring.

The initial request comes from a  photography of a ring whose stones appear between the fingers.
Work is still in progress to refine the frame.

Ellen wished another ring with the same design as her Dingle ring but this time with an oval gem of 10x14mm. Her choice had been an amethyst with  a gold plating setting to match it.

Olga, a very active young woman, wanted earrings "something in a Victorian style while being modern". Finally we moved to India with a Lotus flower that pleasantly surrounds the 10 mm stone for curls with a beautiful volume.

A Dark Green Tourmaline stone  pleased him well with silver buckles.

Olga, seduced by her Padma earrings  also wanted a ring to match her set, also in silver with the same Dark Green Tourmaline stone.

A variant of the Tralee ring, with a 925 silver setting and an oval Swiss blue Topaz gem of 10x14 mm was chosen by Renata.
