Gemstone Rings — From Hand-Carved Wax to Cast Metal

 🌿 The Art Behind My Gemstone Rings

Every gemstone ring I create begins in wax. I carve each detail by hand — the branches, the textures, the curves — building the design one small stroke at a time. This is where the ring’s personality is born.

Below are two versions of the same ring design, showing how a simple wax base can grow into a sculptural, nature-inspired piece of jewelry.

Wax Model & Finished Ring — Green Amethyst Leaf-Twig Ring

This design began as a hand-carved wax model, created to cradle a beautiful green amethyst in two organic leaf-shaped prongs. Every groove, vein, and curve was sculpted by hand to capture the natural movement of leaves wrapping gently around the stone.

The final ring is cast in solid sterling silver and finished with a rich oxidized patina, enhancing the depth of the twig texture and bringing out all the fine organic details.

A true nature-inspired sculptural piece — from raw wax to wearable art.

Gemstone Rings — Hand-Sculpted in Wax, Cast in Precious Metals

Every gemstone ring in my collection begins in the quiet corner of my studio, carved entirely by hand in jeweler’s wax. Unlike mass-produced settings, each piece is sculpted as a tiny work of art — textured, organic, and designed to honor the gemstone it holds.

The Art of Wax Sculpting

I use traditional lost-wax methods to sculpt each ring. Every curve, bark texture, root, vine, or petal is shaped one stroke at a time.

Once I’m satisfied with the sculpture, it is molded so the original wax can be preserved forever — allowing me to recreate the design in sterling silver, gold, or platinum without ever losing detail.

This process gives each ring a soul.

Nothing is computer-generated. Nothing is generic.

Just real craftsmanship — from my hands to yours.

Why My Gemstone Rings Are Different

No CAD

No prefabricated settings

No shortcuts

Every ring carries the mark of the artist

Every piece begins with sculpture, not software

Collectors often tell me they can feel the “life” in my designs — the movement, the natural flow, the organic lines.

That is the result of creating art first… and jewelry second.

From Wax to Wonder: Carving the Foundation of a Tree-Inspired Ring

 

In this stage, nothing is polished, nothing is shiny, and nothing is “perfect.”

But the character of the piece is already alive.

This design features tree-trunk prongs that grow upward to cradle a natural gemstone. All of the bark texture you see is carved by hand. No molds. No templates. Just wax, tools, and time.

The stone sits in place during carving — something that surprises many people. It helps me shape the prongs around it exactly as the stone wants to be held. Every raw diamond or gemstone has its own personality, and my goal is to create a setting that supports it naturally, almost like growing a branch around it.

Once the carving is finished, this wax model will be cast in metal through the lost-wax process. The wax is melted away forever, leaving a perfect metal version of the sculpture you see here.

This is where the magic begins.

Thank you for following along with my process

Sharing these behind-the-scenes steps helps me stay connected to why I love creating — because every piece begins with an idea, a block of wax, and the desire to bring nature into wearable form.
