Claddagh Celtic Knot Ring - Creation Story


Custom Claddagh Celtic Knot Ring

About 30% of my business is with clients that find me on the internet and I never meet in person. I am frequently asked how this can be :)

this is the story of the Custom Claddagh Celtic Knot Diamond Ring.... all in there were about 10 phone conversations and 25 emails. This project took about 6 weeks start to finish.

I was commissioned to create a unique Claddagh ring for an active woman to be used as her engagement ring. After much discussion and exchange of photos with her future fiance, I sketched what we had decided on.

Then a CAD rendering was created based on my sketch

Revisions to CAD
Changes were made to the structure to allow for a future wedding band.
Diamond was chosen and photo sent to client for scale
