CAST HER ENGAGEMENT RING
If you won't settle for less than the wildest design, casting is the way to go. Models are carved and formed with wax, then cast in gold or platinum. The following is a very brief outline of what the class would consist of if you cast an engagement ring. Casting will require multiple visits to the studio.
Design your ring: Casting will allow you to create designs you may not be able to fabricate on your own.
A wax model is made of your ring. This photo is of a sprue - a passage through which the molten metal will flow to reach your ring.
The wax models are invested in plaster.
The was is melted out and the plaster is slowly heated to over 1000°.
The metal is melted and forced into the mold.
This photo is of the casting machine in motion.
Clean, polish and set the stone.
Propose!
