Wax ring mold
For rings you would need to get some ring stock and basically cut the design of the size of piece you would need for your ring. It comes pre-drilled or solid so you can drill it out yourself. It’s pretty small so you want to get it to where it’s going to fit your finger or whoever you’re making it for using a jewelry mandrel and maybe a ringer sizer, finding out your ring size. So basically that is what you would use to make rings here. As you can see here, that’s how I would make an engagement ring which is what I would do most of the time here. Wedding bands, engagement rings, larger just basic design rings for fun. These are different examples. You would basically want to measure your width and the inside size that you would need, cut all that away first and then proceed to carving your design out. I also teach this here at Hard Core Studios, it’s not so easy to dive into if anybody would like to check it out feel free.
