How are silver rings made? Learn the step-by-step process from 3D printing and casting, to the final touches. And they end up right here, where you can come down to Miami yourself, shake our hands, buy it here or buy it online.

Step 1: The Casting Process.

We print the rings out in 3D resin, essentially a soft wax. We start the process very simple. Think of it as a casting tree.  We melt a little wax and attach it onto the 3D resin. What you guys are seeing here takes patience, time, and most of all, experience. It's the beauty of casting.

Once our little tree branches are attached to our 3D resin, we carefully attach them onto the stump. Afterwards, we're going to put a metallic casting cylinder over it, fill it up with investment, and we should be ready to go.

Step 2: The Investment Process.

We measure a certain amount of the powder, and then add some water. Then we mix this boy up like a batter.

Then, we add it into our casting chamber and remove the air so when we put it into the cylinder, there's absolutely nothing but resin and the actual investment itself.

It's going to reach a certain temperature and burn that resin off. What you're left with is a perfect vacuum where the resin used to be.

In the casting chamber, centrifugal force shoots that gold into the cylinder, filling that void that we made by burning off the wax.

Once that cylinder cools, we're going to dip it into this water, which disintegrates the investment. 

This is the moment of truth. All the prongs are perfectly set. It is a beautiful, perfect casting. We got lucky. Well, when you're good, it's not luck.

Step 3: The Pre-Polish. 

We remove the rings from the casting tree and into the tumbler to clean out imperfections. Then we take the Dremel, and pre-fill all those holes. Now it's ready to insert the actual diamonds themselves.

Since the hole and the prongs are already made, make sure that the hole is clean, pop the diamond in there, and then close the prongs.

Step 4: Buffing.

Now comes the shiny part. There are two stages. The first part involves paste to remove the imperfections. The last part uses a fine, white buffing pad to really bring out the shine.

Final Step: The Rhodium Dip.

Rhodium is going to protect the silver from oxidation, otherwise known as tarnishing.

The gold ounce is around $2,300, and a pure ounce of rhodium is almost double that. So it's a very, very expensive process, and it's necessary for all these rings to come out beautiful.
