BESPOKE ENGAGEMENT RING
Each individual commission is made using the most appropriate method for the overall design.
Once the wax is sculpted to size, it is cast into the desired metal; here 18ct white gold has been chosen by our client. The ring is then roughly cleaned up from the casting method, ready to be prepared for engraving and marking out.
The ring has been marked and the stone placed into the setting to check the fit. The sides are skilfully sawn away in line with the drilled holes ready to add small tubes to the cut out design
Once the wax is sculpted to size, it is cast into the desired metal; here 18ct white gold has been chosen by our client. The ring is then roughly cleaned up from the casting method, ready to be prepared for engraving and marking out.
Small tubes of white gold are carefully located into the slots and soldered into place. Once the ring is cleaned, holes for the stones are meticulously measured and drilled ready for setting.
At this stage the client is consulted to allow for any minor adjustments before the final stages.
Details such as fit and feel, stone quality and final engraving are checked with the client before the ring is lightly finished ready for stone setting. In this particular case the sapphire has been held in place with rods through the sides. Once stone is set these are removed.
The final stages have now been completed: diamonds have been grain set into the sides and shoulders of the ring, and a decorative millegrain edge has been added to define each segment of the design.
