Our Process
1. DESIGN
We design the ring for our stock or you design the ring for your custom order.
2. CAD
A computer generated version of the ring is created in CAD.
We scan the diamond into the computer then trace the diamond to get exact measurements of the stone including the stone depth and surface of the stone. Each one of our diamonds are unique because they are cut by hand, so we can never use the same model twice. Every setting has to be made to fit a specific stone. We never mass produce a setting and pop a stone into a premade setting.
3. MODEL IS MADE
We 3D print a resin model of the ring. We do not 3D print every detail of the ring, and use a lot of hand work with all of our pieces. Every tiny diamond set into the band is done by hand and never cast in place. We hand carve the seat into the metal for every tiny diamond to produce the most secure and visually pleasing settings.
4. STONE SETTING
Using a microscope we set every stone. We use a lot of different methods for stone setting, all done by hand; cut down setting for setting diamonds in the band, channel setting, bright setting, bead setting with hand raised not 3D printed beads.
