Custom work and bezels!

It was a busy week for us. We had some distractions, but we still managed to get a lot done. Maybe not as much on our own work as we would have liked, but it was a good week for us. We'll get everything done in plenty of time.

Besides our normal work, Pat did get to work on making the bezels for the stones that we are using for this run. Here she is soldering bezels together. Each one has to be made individually since each stone is a different size and shape.

This is the sketch our clients gave us to work from. Our job is to interpret their vision and make it real for them so they will have two unique and wonderful wedding bands!

Here are the two custom wedding band waxes that Pat carved for our clients! After their approval the waxes go to Tom for spruing, investing and the actual casting.

Once they are cast and cleaned the heads will be soldered on and then the stones will be mounted. Then our clients will have their wedding bands in tie for their marriage!
