Our Story,
I have always been fascinated by the beauty and uniqueness of handmade jewellery. The thought of creating something from scratch, something that is one-of-a-kind and has sentimental value, has always appealed to me.
When my friend got engaged she was struggling to find something that was truly unique and reflective of her personality. I suggested that we make our own rings, so spent a day in a local jewellery-making workshop, learning the techniques of metalwork and the art of creating custom rings. Not only did we create beautiful pieces, but we also gained a new appreciation for the craftsmanship and skill that goes into handmaking jewellery. I decided there was a way to make this available to more people and created at home design kits.
We are still a small team working in South East London but have lots of exciting new things on the horizon.
How it's made
We are a London based workshop, female owned and run.
Lost wax casting is a method of metal casting in which a wax model of the object to be cast is made and then coated in ceramic. The ceramic coating is then heated, causing the wax to melt and drain away, leaving a hollow mold. Molten metal is then poured into the mold, taking the shape of the wax model. Once the metal cools and solidifies, the ceramic shell is broken away to reveal the metal casting.
Lost wax casting is a great technique for making your own rings because it allows you to create intricate and detailed designs that may be impossible to achieve through other methods.
We hope you enjoy the process as much as we do!
