Redesigned Crest Ring

Redesigned Crest Ring

Here is a crest ring we redesigned for a client's customer. In the video the top ring is the customer's original and the bottom ring is our casting of the new design we created. From the original ring it was hard to tell what the design originally was as it has been worn down over the years, but we think the new layout represents the original while adding in new details. We also recessed the behind the crest a little bit more than normal to help the crest details remain longer. You might also notice a flaw in our casting. While we pride ourselves on being able to cast using a customer's metal depending on the quality of the metal supplied it can cause issues. Which is what happened here. Some of the investment broke down when entering the flask allowing the gold to break outside the cavity. However the issue looks worse than it is. To any skilled bench jeweler this area is an easy fix; which our client's jeweler is. Check out the end of the video to see a photo from our client of the ring on the customer's hand. You can see how their jeweler was able to fix the casting flaw. If you are looking to have a crest or signet ring custom made contact us today!
