A Memoire ring is also referred too as a full eternity ring. This will always remain a classic elegant ring design.
The trick with a full eternity ring, is that they have to have all the stones equally spaced around the ring and then also at the correct size for the finger.
I am going to say at the outset of this tutorial that practically spoken it is good practice to leave a section of the band at the bottom without set stones.
That way the ring can be sized up or down without too much drama.
But this tutorial is not about the easy way, so a complete eternity it will be.
