Every detail from the flawless micro pavé setting to the radiant finish reflects strength and style. More than an accessory, this ring is a crown for your hand, embodying both street-inspired hip hop energy elegance.
Inspiration for Design: The Starting Point
Every great piece of jewelry begins with a sketch. The ring’s design was first hand-drawn, inspired by a fusion of hip hop culture and royal elegance. These early sketches capture the bold crown-like, the icy brilliance of Moissanite stones, and the vision of turning raw ideas into a powerful statement piece.
- The design journey begins with a sketch, blending hip hop flair with regal elegance to shape the ring’s bold identity.
- Inspired by crowns and icy brilliance, the initial sketches laid the foundation for this statement-making ring.
From Vision to Virtual: The CAD Design Stage
This stage captures the transformation of a hand-drawn idea into a precise 3D CAD model. Every detail from the bold lettering to the stone placements is digitally mapped, ensuring accuracy and symmetry before the ring moves into wax modeling and casting. It’s the blueprint that turns inspiration into a wearable masterpiece.
- The sketch is converted into a detailed 3D CAD model, mapping out exact dimensions, lettering “PARKLIFE – EASTWAY”, and “MEAN JEAN” stone placements for precision.
- The CAD model is refined and visualized in a digital format, giving a realistic preview of how the final ring will look before moving into wax modeling and casting.
The Blueprint in Wax: Where Ideas Take Shape
The wax model marks the first physical step in transforming a digital design into reality. Crafted with precision, it captures every detail from lettering to stone placement exactly as planned in the CAD model. This stage allows jewelers to inspect proportions, structure, and fine details before moving into casting, ensuring the final ring is flawless from the very beginning.
Key steps in this stage:
- The CAD design is transformed into a 3D wax model using high-precision printers or carving tools.
- Every feature, from lettering to stone seats, is carefully refined to match the digital design.
- The wax model is checked for symmetry, proportions, and accuracy before moving to casting.

This stage showcases the transformation of the design from wax to solid metal. The raw casting captures every detail of the mold from the bold “PARKLIFE” and “EASTWAY”, “MEAN JEAN” engravings to the intricate stone settings. At this point, the ring has taken its true form in metal, but it still awaits polishing, assembly, and stone setting to achieve its final brilliance.
Materials chosen for this masterpiece:
- Wax Burnout: The wax model is placed in a casting mold, then melted away to leave a precise cavity for the metal.
- Molten Metal Pouring – Liquid metal is poured into the mold, filling every detail of the design.
