How a Dog’s Nose Became a Wedding Ring Design
In the lead-up to their wedding, Taylor’s husband struggled to find a ring that truly felt like his own. With the big day fast approaching, he settled on a simple, generic band—one that didn’t reflect his personality or the depth of their relationship. That decision lingered in Taylor’s mind. As their one-year wedding anniversary approached, she saw the perfect opportunity to create something more meaningful—something that would truly represent who they are as a couple.
Fur-Ever Bonded: Maple and Crispy’s Place in Their Love Story
Taylor and her husband share a deep bond with their two beloved dogs, Maple and Crispy. These fur babies are more than pets—they’re a central part of their lives and love story. Wanting to incorporate that connection, Taylor came up with a unique idea: using the dogs’ nose prints as the centerpiece of the design. Just like human fingerprints, every dog’s nose print is unique—a symbol of individuality, loyalty, and love.

From Snout to Sketch: Turning Emotion into Art
Transforming something so organic into a physical design took thoughtful planning and incredible precision. Working alongside her master designer Tricia for guidance, Taylor submitted close-up images of Maple and Crispy’s noses, and from those, the intricate details were transformed into raised textures on the surface of the ring. The result was a beautifully tactile tribute—both abstract and personal—that held deeper meaning with every line.

The Details Within: Dates That Define a Journey of Love
To complete the piece, Taylor wished to include two engraved dates on the inside of the band: the couple’s dating anniversary and their wedding anniversary. These subtle additions grounded the ring in key milestones of their relationship, turning it into more than just a piece of jewelry—it became a timeline of love.

The Reveal: Love You Can Feel
The final piece was cast in white gold. When Taylor saw the completed ring, she admitted she was a little jealous—it was so personal and beautiful, she wanted one for herself! Her husband was equally touched, moved by the thoughtfulness and creativity behind a ring that now feels entirely his own. Carrying their pups with him every day is a quiet, comforting reminder of home, family, and love.
