| At
Heartspire we have
over 31 years experience in creating personal jewelry pieces with special
attention to the subtle desires of our clients.
We often use a process called lost wax casting where a full-scale model
of the ring or pendant is carved in wax and then cast into solid gold,
silver or platinum.
The
castings shown here are two wedding rings designed jointly by Heartspire
and our clients. The couple was shown the wax models in progress and the
carvings evolved to be exactly what they desired.
Our customers
had been married for many years and they felt the original rings no longer
could express how much their relationship had grown and changed. They
did want to use the original gold and stones in the new creations. So
we chose to melt them down, add new gold, and recast them together from
the same precious metal. The new union of metal, castings and remounted
stones reflects the new commitment and energy in their expanding relationship.
These photos
are their rings in the various steps to completion.
Few jewelers
offer this kind of detailed service - we do! Just mail or email us a description,
doodle, or several pictures showing styles you like and we'll design something
new for you.
We'll
email you a photograph of the wax model or sketch for approval, along
with a price quote. You respond with any suggestions for change and send
us any gold or stones you have to be included.
Also we can
supply the materials. We have a large supply of loose gems, crystals,
and precious metals - let us know your interests and we'll send you photos
and prices of some possibilities. |
