Hand Wrought Gold Jewelry - How It's Made

Ever wonder what Hand Wrought Jewelry means? This is how Mark turns raw 18k gold into two rings. Each picture is labeled - showing the birth of this custom order. 

 

 

 

These were unusual wedding rings. 18k Gold and Arizona Fire Agate. Our customers were thrilled.

Platinum and Diamond Ring

In Scottsdale in the Mid 90's Mark was commissioned to set this platinum and diamond engagement ring. All we can remember is the center stone was 5 cts and it was for a famous baseball player. All surfaces except for the bottom of the ring shank were covered in Bright Cut Pave'd diamonds.

Breck Girl Pin Commission

In 1995 Mark was commissioned to stone set the 14k gold and diamond pins and the museum showpiece (larger pin below) for the Breck Girl competition. You can see them on the lapels of the winners.

Here they are in the setting process.



 

Finished pins. This technique is called Bright Cut Pave'.
