Every piece here started as a real conversation with a real client, with a reason behind it, a story, and a lot of emotion. We’re not showing you a catalog. We’re showing you what’s possible, so you can design your own.
Otto Name Ring — Cut-Out Letters in 14k Yellow Gold
This band is built entirely from negative space — the letters O-T-T-O are cut directly through a solid yellow gold band rather than applied on top of it, so the name reads as an open silhouette rather than a raised inscription. The two T’s were specifically designed to share vertical lines with the band structure, creating a seamless, illusion-like transition rather than four separate applied letters. The O’s were refined during the design phase from a rounder shape into a more oval form after the client felt the initial circles looked dropped-in rather than integrated. The piece went through several rounds of sketch revisions — including a version with seven gemstones lined across the top, one for each embryo in the couple’s path to their son — before the client ultimately decided to keep the band stone-free for a cleaner look. The finished ring is a substantial 5-6mm width in polished 14k yellow gold, sized for the wearer’s hand.
