Description
Create a shape of your future ring in a special jeweller's wax and we will cast it for you in silver. You will have almost limitless design possibilities to make your idea come true.
An experienced jewelry designer will ask you to show them your inspiration for a ring or a pendant and will guide you through modelling your piece of jewelry in a special modelling jeweller's wax. This technique is called Lost Wax because the wax later will be melt out of the plaster mold and into the empty cavity hot liquid silver is poured, creating a piece of jewelry of exactly the same shape as your wax model.
The casting is done at a special casting house and takes around 1-2 weeks to be produced. Those who are in Barcelona will be able to pick up the rings from our studio when they are ready. If you don't live in Barcelona shipping option will be offered to you at the workshop.
At this workshop you will also be able to make fingerprint rings of the shape of your choice.
The workshop includes 5 grams of silver which is enough for a standard ring, but if you would like to make a heavier ring or a bigger one in volume, we offer the option of purchasing extra silver on-site. Cubic zirconia stones can be added to your design if you desire with a small additional cost.
The workshops are held in our cozy studio in Barcelona in Poblenou district. The closest metro is Bogatell.
