Start to finish mens and ladies custom rings. Using plat and customers gold melted down
Mr. Pitchford brought this drawing to us and wanted Dave to make this ring. This picture is how it all starts. He then carves a wax of the ring and then.......
We cast the wax in 14k white gold and get this rough casting.
We then set the diamonds into the rough casting and buff it.
We then set the opals into the polished ring and we have a Finished 14k white gold mens ring with broad flash blue-green free form opals and channel set diamonds
This is the meaning behind Mr. Pitchfords ring.
