When your client walks in just 5 days before their wedding needing a well-above-average-size wedding band… most people would say it can’t be done.
Us? We head to the workshop.
From raw metal to finished ring, this piece was made completely by hand in-house.
First, we melted the gold down in the crucible and poured it into the ingot. Then into the acid pot, through the rolling mill, annealed until glowing a dull red, back into the acid, and through the rolling mill all over again.
Once the metal was the perfect thickness, it was time to shape the bar into a ring using shaping pliers, carefully saw the join for a seamless fit, and solder it together.
Then came the rhythmic tap tap tap of the hide mallet… what we like to call the jeweller’s jingle bells ✨
From there, it was all about refining the inside for comfort, squaring the outside profile, and bringing the entire piece to life.
It’s moments like these that remind us… jewellery making is equal parts craftsmanship, pressure, passion, and a little bit of magic. G&Jx
