From early design stages, Calyx was imagined to pair with an oval shape gemstone, as we noticed that there were more and more customers inquiring about an oval shape solitaire engagement rings. This is a distinct difference from Rhea & Clio, which are initially designed to suit for a round shape center stone.

Through the 3D modeling stage, we carefully modeled the curvature and angle of the intertwined lines as to reach a perfect balance between the solitaire gemstone and the ring setting.

On the back of the ring, we meticulously designed an spiraling opening for setting the gemstone. This allows light passing through the setting and enhances the sparkling quality of the center gemstone.

After we completed adjusting the digital design, we begin to produce ring samples in different materials: stainless steel/bronze and silver. This step helps us to examine whether the new design is feasible to be produced with different kinds of 3D printing technologies and their post- processing methods.

Take our silver collection as an example. At this stage, the design was printed by 3D wax printers to create a cast mold with maximum definition. After the ring was cast in solid silver, we took a closer look at the ring again to make sure all surface details were successfully cast with adequate mass for polishing. As the piece was polishing by our skillful jeweler, we needed to make sure that all intricate details can be polished thoroughly by hand and are in good shape after polishing. This is where our design comes true!
