THE WHIP :: BY HOMER LIWAG

My email box blew up this week with links to various sources sharing the story of "The Whip," an  engagement ring designed by Homer Liwag for his Indiana Jones loving fiance Aimee Reich. Homer tells how this amazing piece of art came to be below.

Congratulations to Homer and Aimee from the Magic Newswire!

Being a designer and artist, I felt I had to do something special. Since Aimee is a very enthusiastic Indiana Jones fan, the thought of a coiled whip as the ring seemed perfect. I did a few quick drawings and found a custom jeweler in Las Vegas. The “bag of sand” bought me some time to have the ring custom made. And with her favorite color yellow, I selected a fancy yellow diamond which also represents “The Idol”.
