NEW & OLD
A Love Story's Kiss
In a circle of love, two souls entwined,
New and old, their wedding rings aligned.
A symbol of commitment, forever they'll be,
Bound by a promise, for all eternity.
The gleam of gold, radiant and true,
Reflecting a love that's pure and new.
A band of strength, through life's highs and lows,
A testament to the love that grows.
From the hands that wore them, generations past,
A legacy of love, destined to last.
Through time's embrace, these rings have seen,
Countless stories of love, in every gleam.
They've witnessed vows, whispered with care,
Promises exchanged, in the sacred air.
Through joy and sorrow, they've stood the test,
A symbol of love, forever blessed.
New and old, these rings unite,
Two hearts together, shining bright.
A love story written, in precious metal,
A bond that's unbreakable, forever settled.
So let these rings, in their eternal grace,
Remind us of love's enduring embrace.
For in their circle, we find hope and bliss,
New and old, a love story's kiss.
In an exceptional display of craftsmanship, I successfully integrated vintage gold wedding bands dating back half a century into a bespoke set for a newlywed couple, symbolizing their unwavering and timeless love. Throughout the meticulous design phase, I proactively anticipated potential complexities arising from the couple's specific request for two distinct shades of gold, while simultaneously preserving the sentimental value of the original rings bestowed upon them by their parents.
To surmount these challenges, I devised a strategic approach of constructing both rings using separate components. This intricate process entailed precise measurements, meticulous cutting, filing, expert welding, polishing, and intricate texturing, among other meticulous techniques. After dedicating countless hours of painstaking work, I ultimately assembled the various components into two exquisite wedding rings.
It is imperative to highlight that each ring comprises more than five discernible components, despite their seemingly simplistic and compact appearance. The foundation and edges of the rings are meticulously crafted from yellow gold, while the surface showcases an exquisite fusion of two distinct hues of gold, namely yellow and white. Notably, the yellow gold elements on the surface were meticulously fashioned from the two aforementioned vintage rings, ensuring the preservation of their sentimental significance.
