My choices are visual and tactile: What happens if I add lines to this ring? Will they be etched (sunken), or soldered (raised)? How thick are they? Flat, or round? How wide is the ring band? Do I want lots of texture? Around the entire ring, or just part of it? Will it be symmetrical? Geometric, or organic? How will it feel when I wear it? How heavy do I want it?
I am present in each of those choices. Everything I have ever seen and lived helps me decide what feels right, and in this way, my ring is born.
