H.R. Giger Inspired Swan Engagement Ring
Late one January afternoon, our studio phone rang. Immediately upon answering, a man with a deep voice began rapidly explaining that he was calling all the way from New Jersey and was in need of a very special custom engagement ring.

He provided us with a list of inspirations to aide us in designing this beautifully distinctive engagement ring.
