A Voice Mail to a Silver Sound Wave Ring
I have turned many sound waves into all sorts of jewelry designs. Sound wave rings, bracelets, keychains, and one of my most popular designs are dog tags. Each one is special to me, however, every so often I get a request that is a little bit extra special.
A young woman named Kate reached out to me wondering if I could transform a voicemail into a piece of sound wave jewelry.
I would like to have the sound waves of a voicemail my grandpa used to always leave me when he called. He just passed away in December and I would love to have the memory with me all the time. I look forward to hearing back from you if you could do this for me.
This request was so touching and I knew that the design would have so much meaning. I immediately asked for the audio recording so I could get to work.
We discussed turning it into a bracelet or a ring. Eventually the idea for turning it into a ring won out. I created a render of the design so Kate could get a good idea of what the ring would look like when complete.
Once the design was approved, I had the ring cast in sterling silver and polished to a mirror sheen. The shine would be tremendous but the polish would also soften the edges of the wave form and ensure that the ring was comfortable to wear.
Kate was very pleased with the result.
Just wanted to show you how amazing this is... Opened it with my mom and we were both amazed. So well crafted and super shiny. I can tell you it fits perfectly and is so comfy - no poking edges!!! Pictures do not even show the true beauty. Thank you SO much! I'm beyond happy!
Best,
Kate
I'm always gratified when I can turn a special message into a treasured piece of jewelry for someone. To know that my work has so much meaning for someone, well, it gives me meaning.
Thank you Kate.
