Master Model Construction
When handcrafting larger quantities, we use a wax molding technique to construct the first step of the ring. The master model making workshop comprises two sections - silver model makers and wax carvers. Their expertise is diverse and includes everything from simple prong set and lightweight gemstone jewelry designs to artistically crafted masterpieces. These craftspeople are of critical importance, as their ability to turn a one dimensional drawing into a three dimensional master model is vital in ensuring that the finished jewelry exceeds all expectations. As with the old carpenters adage, measure twice cut once, all our master models must be exactingly precise, as any mistakes at this stage are going to appear in the finished jewelry.
