A Ruby and Diamond Basic Man's Ring for Louis

Louis, from Texas, brought his own gemstones: a ruby and diamonds. The house had long wanted to see the Basic Man's Ring with a fine ruby centre.

Carol carved the wax from a block, invested and cast it, then fitted and soldered the two tones of 18k before setting the stones. Louis wrote that it fit like a glove.
