Silver rings

Steps in the manufacture of a silver ring

Mould preparation

First, a mould is created, often from special moulding sand. This sand can be pressed or carved into a mould to create the desired ring shape. It is important to ensure that the mould is precise and exactly as required.

Melting the silver

Participants can bring old silver jewellery, coins or other silver objects to be melted down. If not, we use our silver granulate and copper, which is alloyed.

Pouring

Molten silver is poured into the prepared mould. This step requires precision to ensure that the casting is even and accurate.

Removal of the casting channel

Next, the casting channel is removed with the goldsmith's saw.

Forging & moulding

The silver ring is hardened and moulded into its final shape by forging and pressing.

The sand casting process enables the production of individual and unique silver rings. Our courses not only offer the opportunity to create handmade jewellery, but also provide a deeper understanding of the craft aspects of jewellery making. It is a great opportunity for creative people to create their own unique silver ring.

All our alloys are nickel-free.
