Custom Design
Our custom design process:
We start by creating a 3D design based on your idea, drawing, or inspiration. Next, we 3D-print the computer model into a wax model. The wax model is then burned out in a kiln and cast in metal. We clean the metal, set stones, polish, and clean it. This entire process typically takes 2–3 weeks to complete from start to finish. Custom engagement and wedding rings typically take 2–3 weeks to complete. More complicated or intricate designs, such as bracelets, might take 6–8 weeks to complete.
