Initial Heart Signet Ring Rubber Mold

Here is an initial heart signet ring we made a rubber mold of for a client. The original ring was broken and pretty worn down. Usually we opt to not make make molds of items in this condition and suggest having a 3d model made. However the ring was sentimental and the customer wanted basically the same ring not something new. So after injecting the mold the wax impression of the original ring was rebuilt by hand. Most of the work went into the under gallery and fixing the shank. We left the top as untouched as possible so the main focal point would remain the same. In the end the two rings came out pretty much identical. You can tell the new ring is thicker, but that needed to be done so it would last longer then the cheaply made original. If you are looking to have a rubber mold made we use an almost non shrinkage rubber and parts comes out pretty much 1:1. Feel free to reach out with any images, information, or questions.
