Customizing Our Celtic Rings
Virtually
all of our Celtic rings can be individually customized to meet your
personal taste and wishes. Here are just a few possible
examples, you can think of others:
-- A sterling silver
ring with the knots made of 14K yellow gold. (Extra charge will
apply for Gold). Any special custom job can be ordered here: Special
Order Form
--
Many
custom jobs require the carving of a totally new wax
model
--
Some rings have 2 parts requiring 2 separate hand carved wax
models. The cost of each custom made wax model is $ 125.00.
--
Each new wax model requires a new rubber mold. The cost of
each new mold is $30.00
--
A typical custom made 2 part knot style ring will require 2 wax
models and 2 molds. The additional cost will therefor be $ 310.
--
The custom charges are in addition to the price of the finished ring.
--
The expenses for custom models and molds are not refundable.
Creating new jewelry can be expensive, we feel that $310 additional
for the custom created new models and molds is really very
resonable. See the special page on how our rings are made: Wax
Models
-- Select
a different stone, stone shape and size. Extra charge may
apply depending on specifics. See some photos of stones here: STONES.
If you see one you like just ask us about availability in desired
shape and size. Not all stones are the same price. We'll
quote you prices as needed.

Mass Production
Our
Celtic jewelry is not mass produced or machine made in a
"jewelry factory." Each
item is individually hand crafted from scratch, much as it was done
many years ago. Here's the basic process as it actually happens:
A
highly skilled model maker artist carefully hand carves the detailed
original design in wax or creates it using metal wire. A
casting and mold specialist then creates the mold and uses it to
"shoot a wax." This newer and softer wax model is
then used to create a casting. The wax gets
"lost" as it vaporizes and is replaced by the casting of
hot gold or silver. The casting, now cooled and in rough
form, is then passed on to our finishing specialist. This
person does all of the fine finishing and polishing work on every
piece that we build. After finishing the work is closely
inspected and any needed touch-ups are made.
Our
jewelers are artists. We build one piece at at time, start to
finish. Each step in the process is performed by people who are
true masters at their specialized crafts.
