Concho Ring 3D print model

Concho Ring

1. Design Intent and Purpose:The concho, crafted using a relief technique, is enhanced through a 3D production method, achieving greater precision and structured aesthetics. By segmenting parts and combining two different metals, the design maximizes a rugged and vintage appeal. It represents one of the simplest ring styles, featuring a golden concho ornament atop the band.

2. Concept:The design motif, Concho, originates from the Spanish word Concha, meaning shell. Traditionally crafted using the Repoussé technique—where metal surfaces are hammered to create relief designs—these ornaments were originally made by Native American artisans who adopted metalworking techniques from Mexico. This piece reinterprets that rustic craftsmanship with a refined shape, blending oxidized brass and silver for a striking contrast.

3. Design Dimensions:KS Size 8–20 / Thickness: 1.9mm / Concho: 8 × 8 × 4.2mm

4. Precious Metal, Materials, and Stone Information:925 Sterling Silver + Brass
