Design/Band – The suggestive shape of a turtle creates the design for this ring. The body of the turtle is created by the glass, while the outline of the shell and head are suggested by the wire. A band is attached directly to the turtle’s shell. A wedding band can be added to this design and can be soldered to the engagement ring after the wedding ceremony, if desired, for an additional cost.
Sizing – The Koro can be made to any size requested. If a change in size is needed after your special order is finished, resizing can be completed for an additional charge. The ring can be resized by me or a trained jeweler with a laser or pulse arc welder in your area.
Other information – A round to oval piece of glass is ideal for this design to suggest the body or shell of the turtle. This design could be altered to have the bezel setting for the turtle sit on top of a band instead of connect to it. If the design were adjusted this way it would make it possible to have a traditional wedding band sit next to the engagement ring.
