A lot of work goes into the creation of a bespoke diamond ring. The first and most obvious step is the design, this includes shape, setting, shank, diamond size, metal type and everything in between. Once you have decided on a design it is then model in CAD before a wax model of the shank is created.
The wax model is then placed inside a plastic, which is then heated to around 1700C. This of course melts the wax but a new mould is left inside the plastic that will then be used to create the band. The metal type of your type is the poured into the mould and this is then heated to melt the metal, the mould is unaffected by this heat as it has already been baked at temperature hotter than even platinums melting point.
Once molten the metal is put into a centrifuge which ensures an even width of metal across the band. The mould is allowed to cool and then the formed metal is removed, which give you yout basic band.
The metal is then hallmarked, which is a legal requirement and ensures your metal type is correct and allows the specific band to be traced. Once the Assay Office has finished hallmarking claws are added to your bespoke ring. The diamond is then set into the claws, and finally your bespoke ring is sent back to us for quality control before being sent out to you.
As you can see below, it is not a short process, but it is does produce fantastic results and ensures you have a unique, quality, bespoke diamond ring.
