Wallace Crossover Celtic
Engagement Ring
In The Early Stages
First
Looks:
I thought
you might enjoy seeing the earliest stages of the creation
of our new Wallace Crossover Celtic engagement ring.
We
use the "lost wax" method
to create all of our jewelry designs. Large, medium,
and very small things have been made this way for hundreds
of years. Some examples are the Liberty Bell, cannons,
and sculptures large and small.
The
hand carving stage of our
newest design, the Wallace Crossover Celtic Engagement
ring, has just been completed and is now being cast in precious
metal. The initial metal castings will be our "working
models" and will be used to create the "working molds" that,
in turn, will be used to make other wax models that will
then be used to make precious metals castings for customer
rings.

The
hand carved wax of the knotwork is above, center. Both
shanks, (ring bodies), are identical, but were
carved in different
sizes to allow for
more precise
fitting of the final rings.
Only
a single knot design is needed as it will
be cast twice for each ring and is always the same
size.

The two
major design elements in this new Wallace Crossover Celtic
Engagement ring
are the rounded tops of the cathedral
walls and the knotwork. The knotwork was deliberately designed
to be a match-mate for the knotwork on our Wallace Crossover
Celtic Wedding bands.
