Put a ring on it

There are some men, some very few men, on whom jewelry sits with a natural ease (see: Philip Crangi, Johnny Depp). And then, unfortunately, there are the rest of us. Being a man of my size (short) and stature (sort of thick, verging on pudgy), jewelry doesn’t do me many favours. So I knew that if I was going to be wearing some for the rest of my life, I should get the inimitable Wendy Brandes to make it. 

The brief:

  • perfectly round
  • industrial looking, or like you could hitch a horse to it
  • old

And she produced this:

She also made the ring that sealed the deal.
