John Welden


this is an engagement ring created by John Welden for his future wife. this struck me, not only as a new take on an engagement ring, but also as a great example of mechanical craftsmanship.

Welden stated his finance wanted a simple engagement ring without any stones. using CAD to draw up different designs, he was able draft one unique yet simple. he chose to make a ring that housed a hidden diamond. the diamond could be seen by pulling the ring apart.

the minuscule ring closes with a tight seal to safely secure the diamond. Welden used titanium and stainless steel to create this ring, at a size of 4.5!

in my book, John Welden is a true craftsman, only with true design and careful precision was he able to create this mechanical marvel.
