Designing a ring using CAD (Computer Aided Design program), printing a wax ring from that design, and casting it again this is not handmade.Buying cast components and soldering them together.Carving an original one-off ring in wax, getting it cast and polishing.Many jewellery companies claim to make bespoke, one-off, custom made rings, when actually they are using the casting method. Cast production includes:
There are very very few jewellers that manufacture truly handmade rings. It is this process of heating and annealing that hardens the metal which the casting process skips, making handmade jewellery almost 50% harder than cast jewellery. It means taking a raw piece of cold-rolled metal wire, bar or sheet of precious metal, such as Platinum or Gold, then through a process of cutting, hammering, shaping and annealing (heating), the precious metal is shaped into the required design. Hand fabricated is the rarest type of jewellery construction. We specialise in traditional hand fabrication which means forging a piece by hand, without the use of CAD/CAM, wax models, casting or prefabricated pieces of any kind. The quality of our jewellery is something that we are immensely proud of and the way that our jewellery is made and constructed is of paramount importance. The pieces are then polished and the gemstones are set. Molten metal is then poured into these cavities. When the metal has cooled, the plaster mold is removed and the individual jewellery pieces are clipped off the “tree”. Once the plaster has set, the wax is melted out, leaving a cavities inside the plaster.
