Visit us in-store to see the unique design of your wedding ring take shape with a wax model created on the same day as your visit.
A specialist service no other jeweller can offer without the skills of a model maker and a lathe. Our master craftsman Greg can make a model within the hour whilst you pop for coffee and cake around the Jewellery Quarter.
Discover how the process of creating a fitted wedding band works below.
How Does It Work?
Step One
Shaping
First Greg starts with a tube of wax – this is then shaped using a small lathe by taking away layers until we have the rough shape of the ring.
Step Two
Fitting
The wax model is then refined using files and emery papers to ensure the fit between the engagement ring and the wedding band will be exact.
Step Three
Casting
Once we have the shape of the wedding band in wax it is then cast in the metal of your choice.
Step Four
Stone Setting
When the casting is complete we file and buff the ring ready for the stones to be set. The stone setter will drill holes for the diamonds to sit in then he will create micro claws which will hold each diamond, this is called a pave setting.
Step Five
Finishing
After our stone setter has worked his magic the ring is ready for a final polish and to be hallmarked at the Birmingham Assay Office with our makers mark.
