Creating a handmade custom engagement ring using wire making plates, hammers, and files is a laborious but highly rewarding process that requires exceptional skill and attention to detail. At DDS Diamond Design Studios, we specialize in this type of high-quality manufacturing process, and take pride in delivering beautiful one-of-a-kind engagement rings. Here are the steps involved in manufacturing a handmade custom engagement ring, starting with a block of solid gold and finishing with a round diamond halo engagement ring.
Design
The first step in creating a custom engagement ring is to design the piece. This involves working with a skilled jeweler to create a unique design that reflects the client’s style and preferences.
Wire Making
Once the design is approved, the wire making process begins. This involves creating the wire of the desired thickness and shape using wire making plates.
Hammering
The next step is hammering the wire into the desired shape and size, using a hammer and an anvil to carefully shape the wire to the specifications of the design.
Soldering
Once the individual pieces of the ring are shaped, they are soldered together using a torch and solder.
Setting
The next step is to set the diamonds into the ring. The center diamond is chosen and set in a prong or bezel setting. Then, the halo of smaller diamonds is set around the center stone.
Polishing
After the diamonds are set, the ring is carefully polished to a high shine. This process involves using various grits of polishing compounds and tools to achieve the desired finish.
Quality Control
The final step is quality control. The ring is inspected by a skilled jeweler to ensure that the diamonds are securely set and that the ring meets the high standards of the client and the jeweler.
At DDS Diamond Design Studios, we take great pride in our handmade custom engagement rings, which are designed and crafted, working closely with clients to create a one-of-a-kind piece that reflects their style and personality. Whether you’re looking for a round diamond halo engagement ring or a unique design that reflects your personal style, we can create the perfect piece of jewelry for you.
