In my line of work, I sometimes have the great pleasure to custom-make the piece of jewellery which is exchanged as a sign of the commitment of two people to each other. It is a big responsibility, and one I do not take lightly. It helps when the couple in question has such a great sense of humour as these two! Check out this wonderful photo by Kristen Hunter Photography, which, in Alexandra’s own words, reflects them very well. Having worked with them, I agree!
Often when people come to me for wedding bands, they are already familiar with my work, and want something along the same lines (literally…). Alexandra and Robert already had several of my pieces, and she was pretty much set on the Onefooter ring. Robert liked the textures of the MapleLeaf series, but the ‘wedding band’ version was way too tame for this wild artist, and we wanted to tie his ring in with hers. This is how the MapleWrap ring was, in fact, born: the texture of the maple leaf, with the elegant wrapping lines of the Onefooter, executed in a more free style than the previous versions. It was exactly what they had looked for. Thank you for letting me play this important role in your union!
You really were great in taking into consideration what we wanted, what was possible and combining the two. We couldn’t have asked for more. Your talent, skill and artistry will be with us always. Robert and Alexandra
My absolute pleasure!!
