It begins with your idea. This is an example of a custom design created for one of Philippe’s clients who had several stones she wanted to wear in stackable rings. To keep costs low, the final design used 14k gold over sterling silver instead of solid 14k gold. Watch how we do it. Philippe uses computer-aided design (CAD) to accurately design the rings. Here, three rings are shown together. Philippe can see what all three rings will look like, how they will look when they are stacked together on your finger. This is something that isn’t possible without CAD. CAD also allows Philippe to ‘place’ the stones (here, represented by the blue color) before ever using any sterling silver or gold. If you, the client, wish to make changes, Philippe can make adjustments here, in CAD, before spending money on metal.Next, the CAD design is milled in wax. The CAD system creates a special file that is read by the mill to accurately cut the wax precisely as designed. Waxes are sprued in preparation for casting. These sprues will allow the molten metal to flow to the rings during casting. The wax is buried in a special plaster called investment. This investment is dried and heated in a kiln to a very high temperature. When it is at the proper temperature, the wax has melted away leaving a hollow area the shape of the rings. This technique is called lost-wax casting. The molten metal will fill this area to make the rings. It’s time to cast!Metal is measured based on the amount of wax used. It is melted in special bowls called crucibles using a torch. When the metal reaches the correct temperature, it is slung into the vacancy left in the investment (usually via a centrifugal casting machine). Once it has cooled, the cast piece can be removed from the investment. Now it’s time to clean it up and polish, polish, polish. Depending on the complexity of your design, this can be minutes, hours or days. The stones get set. Finally, it is ready for you, the client!
