18ct White Gold

I had the amazing opportunity to make 18ct white gold wedding rings for a lovely couple last month.

Gold is such a wonderful metal to work with.

It has a rich, earthy presence,

a beautiful weight in the hand,

and strength beyond measure.

I enjoyed every moment of crafting with this noble metal.

I was driven by the knowledge that it would represent the love and life journey of two people as they become husband and wife.

Here's how they were made:

18ct White Gold

stamped

Straight edges for a perfect solder join

Bending into a ring

Ends touching, ready for soldering

Soldering

Hammered finish

Smoothing the edges

Polishing inside the ring band

Satin finish outer

Polished finish inner

His and Hers wedding rings,

ready for life's journey.

I am so grateful for the people I meet

through doing what I love.

Thank you,

from the bottom of my heart.
