Wax Model for an Antique Style Ring

I have to admit that I enjoy making antiques. This is a wax model for a diamond ring. Though it is an update for it's owner, it is meant to look like an hierloom. Here, the model is painted in silver paint for the photo opportunity. After it is cast in white gold, it will have it's engraved lines refined with sharp tools. The great thing about a new antique is that it doesn't have fifty years of previous wear when you get it.
