Once I have the gemstone seated perfectly, I burnish the metal down onto it, to lock it in (no glue is ever involved) For the finishing touch, I hand engrave the details to make the shapes, I do this with a hand held, hand push graver. This takes years of practice to master, it is very easy to slip out and cut unwanted marks into the design.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMy rings are all slightly different, due to the hand crafted techniques used, and the nature of natural gemstones, so there is no factory made boringness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe top of the solid 9ct yellow gold signet ring measures 13mm across.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis ring is a size P\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI make many of these rings but they are all different as I set and engrave each one by eye.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI love engraving with a graver, the process, the simplicity, the skill and the result. You just can’t get that bright sparkle and hand crafted feel with laser cut or cast or roll printing techniques.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEnjoy a rare piece of jewellery that is made with skill and passion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThank you for your interest in my work, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAdele\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Adele Stewart Maker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53241220170037,"sku":null,"price":7200.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/1772\/6261\/files\/65480901-8584-4DAB-9F30-454BE92D4C1F.jpg?v=1785651064","url":"https:\/\/adelestewartmaker.co.nz\/products\/rose-kaleidoscope-signet-ring","provider":"Adele Stewart Maker","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
