We're taking you behind-the-scenes of our jewelry studio in Tokyo. Here are the process of making wedding rings for A & N.

The Process

The very first step to make your jewelry was to melt gold grains into a nugget. 

With the help of this rolling-mill we were able to turn the nugget into a wire effortlessly.

Annealing

Then, we annealed the metal, so they are soft and easy to work with. We formed them into a ring shape by hammering.

After we got the size we wanted, we soldered the ring on the charcoal block.

Then, we pickled the ring in an eco-friendly solution.

Forming & Filing

As for A’s ring, we needed to file the ring slightly thinner.

This process had to be done precisely by hands and took several hours.

For a shiny finish, we polished the rings using the flex shaft; it is one of our favorite tools :)

After the ring became shiny and clean, the ring was now ready to be set with a diamond.
