Like so many people I have spent a lot of time in recent times reflecting and re-evaluating. In unsettled moments I often find myself at the bench, grounded in the familiarity and comfort of skills that I have honed over decades. No matter how uncertain things feel at least my hands know what to do!
One of my favourite things to do is is wax carving. It’s a very meditative skill and the design possibilities are endless.
Because each band is hand carved, even the simplest ring has a solid feeling about it- totally different to one that has been industrially made. Once the final wax is approved it can be cast in sterling silver or gold. It is often also a perfect way to re-use family gold, making the final ring even more meaningful.
Please feel free to reach out anytime if you would like more information. I’m always happy to help.
