Wax and CZ

Explore Wax & Silver Prototypes

Creating a bespoke piece of jewellery is an exciting and personal journey. We offer wax models and silver prototypes to help you visualise and refine your design before the final creation. These physical previews allow you to see your design come to life, allowing you to explore every detail and make adjustments before your piece is crafted in your chosen precious metal.

Whether you’re designing an engagement ring, wedding band, or another custom piece, these prototypes provide peace of mind, ensuring the final result is exactly what you envisioned.

Benefits

A wax model is an essential step in creating your bespoke jewellery. This three-dimensional preview allows you to see and feel the design in its physical form before production begins. It’s an invaluable opportunity to evaluate the size, proportions, and fit of your piece, helping you ensure everything is just right before we start the final crafting process.

Delivery Time

Once your refined design is approved, the wax model typically arrives within 5-6 working days, giving you time to review and refine your design before production begins.

Cost

The wax model is priced at £70 inc. VAT is a small investment to guarantee your bespoke jewellery matches your vision perfectly.

If you’d like to explore this option or have questions, we’re here to help at every step!

Benefits

For a more detailed preview, a silver prototype allows you to evaluate your design in its final form—before it’s crafted in precious metal. This option is ideal if you’d like to wear the piece to ensure comfort or if you’re still refining details, such as colour combinations and textures.

 

Delivery Time

Creating a silver prototype takes 4-6 weeks, including delivery, as it follows the same production timeline as the final piece. This ensures an accurate representation of your design before we proceed with the final creation.

Cost

The silver prototype with a CZ setting is priced between £400-600 + VAT.

Whether you choose a wax model or silver prototype, we’re dedicated to making sure your bespoke jewellery journey is as seamless and enjoyable as possible. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need further details!
