Process & Tools
Depending on what shape you would like to create, there is a choice of size and shape of wax ring blank. Then we make some simple sketches to work out your ideas before starting to sculpt the wax. Using scalpels, files, cutting tools, wet and dry paper and other exciting techniques, you begin cutting into the wax to make your shape. Pieces of wax will be available to practice and test out ideas before you start. There is no right and wrong with wax carving, any marks or shapes you make can be cast when the ring gets made into its final silver form.
Time
The class lasts two hours but the actual wax carving could take between an hour and an hour and a half. It totally depends on the size of the wax ring blank and how much detail you wish to add to the surface.
Ring Delivery
At the end of the class the wax carvings will be labelled with your name and photographed to ensure you get your very own design back. After the class your design will be sent off to be cast by our expert casting supplier to be transformed into beautiful sterling silver. Within seven weeks (can be delayed during peak times), your ring will be delivered or available to collect in one of our stores (you choose the delivery option).
Personalisation
During the class, the jeweller leading the workshop will help you decide how to personalise your design. Personalisation is completely optional and free. The number of characters, font size and personalisation can be discussed during the class. When the ring has been cast our jewellers will hand-stamp your desired lettering into the ring. We will also polish the ring up to a brilliantly sparkling finish.
Gold Plating
Optional 9ct rose or 9ct yellow gold plating is available. The cost will be between £20 and £30 depending on the size of your piece.
