Wedding Band Custom Made To Match Heirloom Ring
LISA
"So it's actually my grandmother's engagement ring. She gave it to my mom for me to have, one day when I was ready. I was in high school.
?
Dillon, my fiancé, was able to be covert and able to get the engagement ring from my mom without me knowing. My Aunt Mary drove it down to him for a surprise engagement in the Spring. And then we had a (wedding) band that was custom made here to match the (engagement) ring."
The Making of The Perfect Band 
Measuring
To ensure the custom wedding band we were creating was a perfect match and fit for the original ring, we collected the engagement ring for measuring.
Restoration
Also, Krikawa's master jewelers performed an antique engagement ring restoration, to make it safe for another lifetime of wear. The old shank was cut off and replaced, the diamonds were tightened, the prongs rebuilt, and the millegraining was replaced.
Computer Rendering
Before work on the wedding band could commence, a computer rendering was created to ensure the client was getting exactly what she wanted. From the 3D rendering, she could see the ring from various angles as well as see an approximate size of the final ring. After the final design was approved, the ring moved into production.Production
The ring design was passed on to our talented master goldsmiths and they went to work. The band consists of two metals, a 14k yellow gold shank and a platinum head. Detailed millegraining was added to frame the head, matching the antique engagement ring.
A Beautiful Bridal Set
Once the wedding band was complete, it paired perfectly with the heirloom engagement ring. They looked like they had been a set from the beginning. The happy couple was able to bring a little new age technology and craftsmanship in the wedding band to the one-of-a-kind heirloom antique engagement ring that was so precious and sentimental to the future bride.
