The Signet Ring Wax Carving Experience

Service Description

Step into the world of professional jewellery making with this beautifully accessible introduction to wax carving. In this hands-on, creative experience, you'll learn the fundamental techniques of shaping, sculpting, and personalising jeweller’s wax, the traditional starting point for lost wax casting. This is the perfect first step for anyone curious about jewellery making beyond simple fabrication. You'll have the unique opportunity to set stones (stones available at extra cost) directly into your wax model, creating a one-of-a-kind piece that will be cast with the stones permanently embedded, preserving the craftsmanship of your original carving forever. Whether you choose to keep your design simple, add a fingerprint detail, or embrace the ancient technique of cast-in-place gemstones, this workshop offers a rare chance to create truly personal, professionally finished jewellery. Please note: Casting services (silver, gold, or cast-in-place stone setting) are charged separately after your wax model is complete. Once your carving is complete, your wax model will be weighed, and you’ll be given a casting quote if you would like your design brought to life in precious metal. What to Expect: - Hands-on wax carving: design, shape, and refine your own signet ring - Personalisation options: fingerprint detail, initials, meaningful textures, or cast-in-place stones (upgrade available) - Professional guidance throughout : calm, creative, and encouraging atmosphere - Professional Casting : silver, gold, or platinum. Option to have stones set in place (diamonds and sapphires only. These will be available to purchase during the workshop at a additional cost). ☕ Tea, coffee, and homemade cake will be served to make your experience even more enjoyable. As this is a relaxed session, no experience is needed—just a love for creativity and meaningful moments.
