Ever wanted to create your very own sterling silver ring from scratch? I know lots of friends who would love to do this but don't want to invest in all the many, many tools. And with the whole recent global pandemic and lockdowns, I decided that it would be a great idea to create a kit for people who wanted to give this a go, from home, and learn a new skill in the process.
Enter, the Magpiette Ring Carving DIY Kit! It's the ideal do-it-yourself kit for jewellery lovers and remedy for isolation boredom.
The kit contains everything you need to design and create a solid sterling silver ring from scratch by carving it from wax, and at the end you get to wear your silver ring creation. This uses the traditional silversmithing method of lost wax casting - essentially you carve your ring design from wax to create the mould, then send it back to us using the mailing box provided and we get it cast into silver, then we give ityour choice of polished or matte finish.
The beauty of this is that there are so many different options for creating gorgeous, unique rings with this kit (there are some examples in our Instagram story highlights).
It's so exciting to finally launch this in Australia and so awesome to see the different designs that people are sending me back to get cast into silver (and gold / gold-plated silver!). I'm hoping that it can become a popular home craft kit here and give people something fun to do - particularly as we are navigating the second wave.
I'd love to hear what you think of this and whether there's a particular ring design you'd like to create?
