Reptile Texture Ring — Custom Jewelry Design

This ring was designed while I was working at the Van–Arnold Jewelry workshop.

The idea was to create a surface inspired by reptile skin, with different textures on the outside and inside of the ring.

Like in nature, where the pattern on the back and the underside of a reptile differs, the outer surface is more structured and rough, while the inner side has a slightly different, more compact texture.

This contrast adds subtle variation without changing the overall form of the ring.
