behind the scenes


ever wonder how a cast ruby ring was made? first you have to carve the wax...




here's the wax in process...




a mold is then made with the wax, the wax is then melted and burned out of the mold and molten gold is put in it's place at very high tempuratures. here's what it looks like fresh out of the flask.




now it's time to prepare for the stone setting... by burring out a "seat" for the stone.




stone is set by pressing metal against the stone...ta da!
