The idea of the ring holder necklace came to me when one of my dentist customers mentioned that it was difficult to get the surgical glove over her brand new custom engagement ring, Lin Princess Cut Engagement ring. She asked me to create a necklace that she would be be able to hang her ring on without having to open a clasp and use it during working and while taking an exercise class. She also needed the chain to be long enough so she could tuck it in her sports-bra during a yoga or a spinning class.
I wanted the design to be stylish and elegant so it could be worn from day to evening and at the same time I wanted it to be clean and minimalist so it would be comfortable during exercise.
I made a double loop design of two circles that overlap each other with an opening at the top so the ring can go through it without having to open the clasp. I used an elegant and very sturdy 1.8 millimeter thick, rhodium plated chain. It’s 30 inches long allowing the necklace to be worn as a wardrobe essential and tucked comfortably under your clothing when needed.
It’s a stylish and refined necklace with a safe-keeping purpose to it. Even though I made it with the medical profession in mind, it is ideal for anyone who wants to keep her ring clean and safe at work, in the house or the gym. It's also a great way to keep the ring of our loved ones close to us.
The ring holder necklace has evolved ever since. I have created multiple designs to choose from and they are available in white gold, yellow gold and platinum in addition to the original sterling silver.
I am the designer, wax carver, goldsmith and creator of all custom made Cynthia Britt jewelry and ready-made sterling silver collections. I am very detailed oriented and I absolutely love to create a unique piece of jewelry for each person. I received a B.S. degree in computer engineering from Boston University, then I learned the art of jewelry making in California.
Making a ring is truly magical. It goes through many stages until it reaches it’s final form. I want to show a couple of stages that Maggie’s ring went through before it’s beautiful diamonds were set.
