FAQS

 

Are my wedding rings really cast in nature? 

Yes! All of the wedding rings we make are made in Areas of Outstanding Beauty. We actually cast a vast majority of our wedding bands on the Cornish cliffs, and always on calm sunny days. Each wedding ring is carefully finished off in that location too. Each piece has a remarkable story and connects you to a beautiful landscape. 

 

Is all of your jewellery carved in nature? 

Yes! All of our technical gemstone jewellery is made from a process called lost wax carving. The best bit about this process is that the wax models can be made outside of the workshop. You will find in the description of each of our jewellery where the wax models were made. Our jewellery is all about bringing the story and experience of nature to you in the form of a timeless piece, and this process best capitulates that. 

 

How much are the 'Cast At Location' charges? 

Our charges for 'cast at location' will vary, as our workshop is based in Bristol. We usually say a 200 mile radius from Bristol would have a charge of £495. Anything outside of the 200 mile Bristol radius will be subject to different fees.

You can give us a call or email for a more precise cost for the cast at location service if it falls outside of the 200 mile Bristol radius. We are more than happy to help. 

 

Can you cast at any location? 

Within reason, yes! We have cast up mountains, along beaches and in beautiful countryside settings. The furthest we have gone is Italy. Although most of our requests are done in the U.K. 

 

What styles of cast rings can I have ? 

Sand casting produces a very organic texture that looks and feels natural. Our techniques and processes also allow us to make smooth, mirror like looking rings. We have options for lots of different ring styles and are not limited in anyway. If you have something in mind it can usually be done, just contact us through the contact us page. 

 

Do you cut your own opals? 

Yes indeed! We buy parcels of rough opal direct from several miners in Australia, each opal is hand carved by myself. Opal is formed over millions of years and forms many unusual shapes. I don't believe in changing this, so I carve and polish the stone exactly how nature has made it. You will find most of our opals are of a natural freeform shape, this adds to the uniqueness of your jewellery, and resonates well with the 'Coastal' collection. 

 

What collections do you do? 

We offer many collection styles and will continue to add on the further this journey goes.  The Coastal collection is wax carved on the cliffs around the U.K, with great emphasis on opals to reflect the green/blue ocean pools. The Mountain collection forms jewellery that resonates with rock formations in the mountains, and of course all of the wax carvings are made in the mountains! Each piece is made in a unique area in the mountains or coastal areas, which is described in the description of the piece listed.
