Heirloom gold ring with a story
The beauty of reusing heirloom gold lies not only in its sustainability, but also in the way it connects the past with the present. M.'s own history and memories are reflected in the citrine pendant she received from her mother, the garnet from the ring she wore as a girl, and the gold from the family wedding rings. How special is that?
I made three rings for M. to wear together in yellow gold. They contain citrine from her mother's pendant, garnet from her childhood ring, tourmaline from a tie pin, and a diamond from her own ring.
