Lasting impressions RINGS SILVER and 18k GOLD PLATED

Capture a moment forever with a custom-made ring, handcrafted using the ancient technique of lost-wax casting. Each ring is created from your unique imprint and made to order in your choice of 925 sterling silver or gold-plated 925 sterling silver.

This process is similar to my Lasting Imprints jewellery, but specially adapted for rings.

How It Works
1. Place Your Order

Choose your preferred finish:
• 925 Sterling Silver
• Gold-Plated 18k gold vermeil ontop of 925 Sterling Silver

2. Receive Your Imprint & Ring Sizing Kit
You'll receive a kit containing:
• Soft putty and clay for taking your imprint
• Full instructions
• A set of sample rings to help you find your perfect size

3. Take Your Imprint & Choose Your Ring Size
Follow the instructions to take your imprint.
Your imprint will then be carefully sculpted into a wax ring in your chosen size before being cast into metal.
Please note: The wax sample ring should feel just slightly loose. Wax shrinks by approximately 3% during casting, so the size you choose using the sample rings is the size your finished ring will be cast in.

4. Return Your Kit
Sweden: A prepaid return label is included.
International customers: Return postage to Sweden is the buyer's responsibility (see example postage costs below).

5. We Create Your Ring
Once I receive your completed imprint kit, your ring enters production.
Each ring is individually handcrafted using the traditional lost-wax casting process. Your imprint is carefully transferred to a wax model before being cast in your chosen metal.

Every ring is then hand-finished and polished.
Production typically takes 6–10 weeks from the date I receive your completed imprint kit.

Please note that gold-plated rings may take a little longer, as gold plating is an additional finishing process. Production times may also be extended during busy periods such as Christmas, Swedish summer holidays, and public holidays.

6. Receive Your Finished Ring
Your one-of-a-kind ring is carefully packaged and shipped, ready to wear and treasure.

No Imprint? No Problem.
Don't have an imprint? I can also create a custom ring from a photograph using the same lost-wax casting technique.
Whether it's a fingerprint, paw print, or nose print, I'll work with you to create a beautifully detailed ring that captures your memory.
If you're unsure whether your photo is suitable, please send me a message before ordering. I'm always happy to have a look and let you know what's possible.

Sterling Silver
Sterling silver naturally tarnishes over time. This is completely normal and is one of the characteristics of genuine 925 sterling silver. Tarnishing does not indicate a fault with the jewellery or the quality of the silver.
Many factors influence how quickly silver tarnishes, including skin chemistry, humidity, air quality, perfumes, lotions, cleaning products and storage conditions. Because of this, two people wearing the same piece may have completely different experiences.
Fortunately, tarnish is only a surface reaction and can easily be removed by polishing.

✨ PREMIUM MATERIALS & CRAFTSMANSHIP: 18K GOLD PLATED WITH PALLADIUM BARRIER ✨

✨ Premium 18k Gold & Palladium Shield

Beautifully made with quality materials and designed to be worn and enjoyed.

Each piece is made from **925 sterling silver**, finished with a palladium barrier and approximately 2.5 microns of 18K gold plating.

What's underneath matters
Unlike many pieces of costume jewellery, which are commonly made from base metals such as brass or other alloys, our jewellery starts with 925 sterling silver.

Between the silver and gold, we use a layer of palladium.  Palladium acts as a barrier between the sterling silver and the gold, helping to prevent the silver from affecting the gold finish and providing a stable foundation for the plating.

The final layer is approximately 2.5 microns of 18K gold — a considerably more substantial plating thickness than a very light gold flash or decorative coating.

Made to be worn
Gold plating is still a finish and will naturally wear with regular use. How quickly this happens varies from person to person and can depend on skin chemistry, sweat, lifestyle, frequency of wear and how the jewellery is cared for.

Areas exposed to the most friction, such as rings and bracelets, will naturally show wear sooner.

To help preserve the finish, keep your jewellery away from water, perfume, lotions and harsh chemicals. Remove it before sleeping, showering, swimming and exercising.
 
Handmade character
Each piece is individually finished, so subtle variations in colour, texture or finish may occur. Small imperfections are a natural part of the handmade process and give each piece its individual character.

When the gold wears
With time and regular wear, the gold layer will gradually become thinner. If you ever wish to refresh your piece, it can usually be replated by a professional jeweller.

Unlike brass-based gold plating that turns green or flakes away, our pieces are built on 925 sterling silver with a palladium barrier, meaning they can always be cleaned, polished, or re-plated for a lifetime of enjoyment.
