Design your own jewelry ring

After the participants have made a wax mold of their ring in this course, the jewelry designer will cast the ring in precious metal and send the new favorite ring 2-3 weeks later.

Don't worry, the (wax) ring is in good hands with the trained jewelry designer. The team is keen to establish sustainable jewelry produced in Germany. Be honest: it couldn't be better.


ATTENTION: The workshop fee only includes the wax design course. The costs for further processing amount to an additional €90 - €160, depending on the size of the ring and the choice of material.


ABOUT THE LOST-WAX TECHNIQUE:

With the lost-wax technique (also known as the lost-wax process), the wax model is enclosed in an investment material, which will later serve as a mold for the precious metal. Precious metal is poured into the mold through a pouring hole in the mold. The hot metal melts the wax, which can escape from the mold through an exit hole. When the precious metal mass cools down, the mold can be removed. What remains is your ring, which Elina's trained hand puts the finishing touches on.


ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:

In this workshop, participants design their own individual ring by implementing their specific design idea in a wax model in consultation with the jewelry designer. Of course, there are also some templates that you can draw inspiration from. You decide on site how your wax model should be processed after the workshop: Should it be silver, blackened, coated with a thin layer of gold, matt or polished? 2-3 weeks after the course, everyone finally receives their dream ring by mail.
