How wide can I make my ring?
There are two sizes to choose from: Standard (6mm) and Wide (12mm).
Our Molten Ring and Graffiato Classic Rings are good examples to reference for size. If you’d like to make a signet ring or a cocktail ring select the Wide wax. The Labradorite Deco Ring and Cosmic Eye Ring are good examples for size.
Can I add a stone?
Yes! If you would like to add a little sparkle to you creation you have to option to add a 2mm Cubic Zirconia stone. All you have to do is mark out where you would like your stone set on your wax model once you’ve finished carving, and we will create a flush setting / set the stone for you once the ring is cast. It is an extra £20 for us to create the setting and set the stone; this also includes the CZ stone of your choice. Alternatively, if you have your own stone you would like to add - drop us a message and we can discuss!
CZ colours available: Clear, Topaz, Champagne, Pink, Orange, Garnet, Peridot, Emerald, Olive Green, Aquamarine, Blue Topaz, Violet, Lavender, Tanzanite or Black - Please specify the stone colour in Order Notes at checkout.
How does it work?
When your kit arrives in the mail you can follow along with our included Guide, Tutorial Videos, and start carving! Once you’re finished, simply fill out the Ring Form to specify your ring size, selected finish and colour/placement of any stones you’d like set. Then place your ring in the tin provided and use the pre-addressed envelope to mail it back. Once we receive your ring we’ll size it to right size, set any stones if you choose, then cast it into the metal of your choice. Finally we will hand polish the ring to your preference and ship it back to you!!
