WIP ~ Oval Sígnets

by Grace Griffin

Here's a lil insight into wax carving for an oval signet ring :)

Every ring I create starts from a chunk of specialised jewellers wax.  The wax comes in a variety of hardness and shapes.  My preference is blue wax (softest), and I use the flat-top ring tube with a centre hole.  Here are some work-in-progress images ~ I carved 3-5 of these in anticipation of patterns and carving designs that will give each ring their particular style....
