Double Gold knot ring

This was doubly delightful for so many reasons but mainly because of the gorgeous twins who asked me to make it. They both came in together for the initial consultation so I was able to chat through the family history and meaning.

The ring is a copy of an 18K yellow gold antique family heirloom. Looking at it under my microscope it was obviously was hand forged by someone around 90 years ago, skillfully constructed and had really stood the test of time. It was passed down to one identical twin sister who asked me to make her a copy so her twin would have one to wear too. I used some 9K Yellow Gold from an ingot pendant she had to use towards the construction. Once I cut, annealed, forged, rolled and drew down the wire to the same thickness 1.65mm I set forth working out how to tie them into 2 knots like the original but as a mirror reflection. It was a little challenging at first but we got there in the end. The tears of joy upon collection was something I will not forget. I love this job.
