Coat Of Arms / Family Crest Ring

The engraving is done in reverse for wax impressions. It was a difficult job due to the heavy wear of the customer's original ring and lack of any heraldry artwork associated with the surname. I photographed the original ring with a macro lens, sketched what I could see and filled in the missing details with the customer. Everything considered, I think it turned out quite well and the customer was very pleased. The Latin phrase "Ne Cede Malis" translates to "Yield not to misfortunes." The ring is a 14 karat yellow gold oval signet with an 18x15mm surface face.   COMMISSIONED
