Round Solitaire Ring Casting Mount

A jeweller's semi-mount, sculpted to cradle a centre stone. Despite the workshop-style code, the image is unmistakably a fine ring — a solitaire mount built for casting, not a routed panel. A tall round basket rises from the shank, its walls pierced with a delicate gallery of tiny arches, and six slender claw prongs stand ready to grip a single large round stone at the top. Beneath the head, an ornate under-bezel adds scrollwork you'd only catch from the side. The tapering band is drilled along its shoulders with paired seats and bright beads — a bead-set channel waiting for a row of small accent stones down each side. This is a maker's model for lost-wax casting: print it in castable resin, invest, burn out and pour in gold, silver or platinum, then set the stones. It reads as a classic round-solitaire engagement or dress ring. Print notes • Use a castable/wax-like resin and print at the finest layer height your machine allows — prong tips, bead seats and the pierced gallery are tiny and unforgiving. • Orient the ring at a slight tilt with supports on the inner band and under the basket, keeping the prong tips and top table support-free. • Confirm the finger size and centre-stone diameter before scaling — everything keys off the seat dimensions. • Plan a light bench clean-up after casting: the milgrain beads and gallery arches benefit from a gentle polish rather than heavy filing.
