How would you like to design and make your own unique ring? Maybe it’s a special heirloom for yourself or a thoughtful gift for a loved one.

Why not learn the ancient art of carving wax for lost wax casting AND create a bespoke ring! There is something so special about a piece of jewellery that be passed down for generations - especially if it’s one you made yourself!

My kit includes everything you need to design and carve your own ring, and also includes the casting and polishing of your ring. Your ring can be cast in Recycled Sterling Silver, 18k Gold Plated Recycled Silver or Recycled Brass. Follow the step by step guidebook and online video tutorials by me, head jewellery designer at Anonoma Jewellery, to learn the art and create your unique ring. Zero experience is required and even if you think you don’t have a creative bone in your body - I promise you do, or I can at least help you find it!

Wax carving is truly my favourite part of the the jewellery making process, which is why I’m excited to share this with you! I took my first class in wax carving in 2014 and it was the meditative element of it that really had me hooked.

WHAT MAKES THIS KIT DIFFERENT FROM OTHER RING MAKING KITS AVAILABLE?
There may be other kits on the market - but making a ring you'll be proud of really depends on three things:

1) QUALITY TOOLS: The kits contains a professional jeweller's wax file and two double-ended hand sharpened carving tools. These are the tools are what professional jewellers use and to have the best experience I think you should too. (I'd like to note, a craft knife (as seen in other kits) is not only more difficult to use, but requires a cutting surface, and possibly band-aids / plasters.)

2) QUALITY INSTRUCTIONS: The Wax Carving Guide contains step-by-step instructions from start to finish, a Drawing Guide and a series of How-to videos by jeweller, Natasha Kutrovacz.

3) QUALITY CASTING, GOLD PLATING & POLISHING: We only cast in Recycled Silver and Recycled Gold and Recycled Brass. Our casting is done locally at AA Fine Casting in London, UK. You can have a look at how casting is done by visiting their website https://www.aafinecasting.com/ Our plating is done by Elliot-Fitzpatrick an award-winning Precious Metal Polisher and Platers based locally in the Goldsmiths’ Centre in London. To learn more visit: https://www.elliot-fitzpatrick.com/ Our polishing is done in-house at our jewellers studio.

WHAT WILL MY RING BE MADE OF?
You have three options! You can choose from:
-Solid Recycled Brass
-Solid Recycled .925 Solid Sterling Silver
-18k Gold Vermeil, which is 4 microns of 18k Gold Plated onto Solid Recycled .925 Sterling Silver

HOW WIDE CAN I MAKE MY RING?
You can choose to make your ring either 5mm or 10mm wide!

HOW DOES IT WORK?
When your kit arrives in the mail you can follow along with my included Instructions, Online Videos, and start carving! Once you’re finished creating your piece, simply fill out the Ring Form to specify your ring size, selected finish and colour/placement of any stones you’d like set. Then place your ring in the tin provided and use the pre-addressed envelope to mail it back. Please note, the shipping cost for returning the ring is not included. Once I receive your ring I’ll size the ring, set any stones if you choose, then have it cast into the metal of your choice. Finally I will hand polish the ring to your preference and ship it back to you!!
