Item details
My seven year old son inspired me to make this ring, he was making the planets in the solar system quickly orbit round the sun on an iPad app. I noticed that there were dates whizzing past on a little calendar.
Fast forward a few months and I was thinking about how to make a personalised ring design that was not really obvious (like big initials) and I thought it would be nice to do something related to the planets. I thought back to the app with the dates and realised I could use that data to make a scientifically valid solar position map on a ring personalised to any date.
I actually 3D printed and cast a design that I created on my computer with flush gold planets but the gold did not show up well and the ring lacked something.
Out came the hammer and plumbers blowtorch and I remade the ring by hand using oldskool forging techniques with spherical 18ct gold planets and a blue sapphire for earth.
Now the ring looked right and was what I wanted to achieve.
