Create your own unique Ring with this DIY Wax Carving Kit
Create your very own ring from the comfort of your home? Just you, or together with a friend? Or maybe you fancy a creative moment with yourself on a cozy evening or while you are on holiday? Bring this Kit along and carve out some time to make your own design and self made ring. There is no time limit, you can carve as long as you need to perfect your unique ring. This DIY Kit includes all the materials, tools and instructions to design and create your ring from jewellers wax using the ancient technique called ‘Lost Wax Casting’.
This might just be the start of a new hobby or maybe even a career!
You do the sculpting and carving, and I do the casting and finishing. Within a few weeks you get to wear your unique ring in your chosen metal. -

The DIY Kit includes all tools for making your unique wax ring. Depending on your choice any additional cost like casting your ring in recycled Silver or 14k/18k Gold Plated, Solid Gold ring is either pre-paid or can be noted on your return form. I will then send you an invoice when I receive your finished wax in the mail. Your ring will be casted and/or plated once the payment is received.
Please choose your approximate ring size (small, medium, large, extra large) from the product options or your exact size using the ring sizer. If you are unsure which size to choose you can order a ring sizer here, so you can order your perfect size.
*Due to the fluctuating price of silver, your DIY Kit must be used within 6 months after purchase. You must be over 18 years old to use this product due to the scalpel cutter included in your DIY Kit. On the rare occasion that rings have not been carved and send back or there is concern over impracticality of the wax, your wax ring will be returned for more carving.

I never thought I would love doing this as much as I do. It opened up a whole new creative world for me. Thank you for making this technique so accessible for a non-jeweler like myself.

The package arrived beautifully and as it says, it does contain everything you need to make a ring. I absolutely loved the process of the carving, so relaxing. Daphne included a lovely designed booklet with all the information and visual guidance you need. The best thing was I could do this in my evening hours when the kids were in bed. I will order some more waxes soon to carve a ring for my best friend. Thank you Daphne!
