A traditional process for timeless creations
Our jewelry designers use an old-fashioned process to design and create beautifully handmade jewelry. Our five-step process includes:
- Drafting - Your free design consultation is when we'll sketch your ideal design. You can bring in pictures of designs you like for inspiration.
- Wax carving - After the design is sketched, we'll create a wax mock-up by hand, which allows us to add intricate details to each piece. You can then try on the wax piece to double-check size and shape.
- Casting - Once you're satisfied with the design, we cast the piece in your chosen material. We can create gold, platinum, titanium and base metals.
- Setting - We then set the stones in the ring, being sure to stabilize the stone prongs to prevent gems from loosening or falling out.
- Finishing - The final step is polishing the piece and ensuring that you are completely satisfied with the design and creation.
