-- Have
your silver Celtic jewelry or unique Irish Claddagh rings selections
done with a satin finish instead of the usual bright finish. A natural,
hightly polished finish is considered by many to be the most
beautiful option of all. No extra charge for your choice of
finish.
-- Select
a different stone, stone shape and size. Extra charge may apply
depending on specifics. See some photos of stones here: STONES. If
you see one you like just ask us about availability in desired shape
and size. Not all stones are the same price. We'll quote
you prices as needed.
--
Select
your choice of 14K or 18K yellow, white, rose or green gold. Check
with us for current extra charges for rose or green gold. Note:
we do not work with 10K gold.
--
Request that your ring be antiqued
and we will apply a black media to the background area of the knotwork
for only $20 additional. Please note that antiquing cannot
be removed without damage to the ring. Antiqued and other
customized items are not covered by our 30 Day Refund Guarantee.
No Mass Production
Our
Celtic jewelry is not
mass produced or
machine made in a "jewelry factory." Each
item is individually hand crafted from scratch, very much as it was
done hundreds
of years ago. Here's
the basic process as it actually happens:
A highly
skilled model maker artist carefully hand carves the detailed original
design in wax or creates it using metal wire. A casting
and mold specialist then creates the mold and uses it to "shoot
a wax." This newer and softer wax model is then used to
create a metal (silver or gold) casting. The wax gets "lost" as
it vaporizes and is replaced by the casting of hot gold or silver. The
casting, now cooled and in rough form, is then passed on to our
finishing specialist. This person does all of the fine finishing,
polishing and assembly work on every piece that we build. After
finishing the work is closely inspected and any needed touch-ups are
made.
Our jewelers are artists. We
build one piece at at time, start to finish. Each step in the
process is performed by people who love their work and are true masters
of their specialized crafts.
