Dave designing ring with Wisconsin craftsman, Humphrey.
Jessica Ellis:
Our engagement ring's stone came from a rock we found together on an excursion along South Africa's coast last year
Jessica Ellis:
After finding the right size stone from the quartz and two pieces of turquoise off the stone on Dave's neck, they designed a wax model...
Jessica Ellis:
Dave whisks up a plaster mold of the wax model.
Jessica Ellis:
the plaster mold is baked in a high temperature oven for 6 hours.
