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 £25 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!

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!!
