How your Legacy piece is made.

The process of creating a beautiful Legacy commission

is skilled and intricate work.

Client's often ask for photographs of their jewellery during creation, but although our goldsmiths are extremely talented, their photography skills are somewhat lacking!

So here it is, the journey of a Legacy ring, from conception to the gorgeous finished piece.

THE DESIGN

Once we have assessed your existing jewellery, Chris will spend time considering how to perfectly showcase your precious gemstones. By using the wonder of computer aided design, we can create an almost exact image of how your beautiful new Legacy jewellery will look.

THE DESIGN PRESENTATION

We will now present you with one or two designs to consider. There is no obligation to proceed, but we hope they will inspire you, and allow you to see what is possible for your own transformation.

Only once you are thrilled with your final design is it time for the really exciting part to begin. This marks the start of your Legacy journey.

THE CREATION

Your gemstones will now be removed from their original setting. We will check all the measurements, and then the casting of your new piece can begin. We create a wax, from which the precious metal can be cast.

The raw casting is then tumbled, a process that removes any protrusions from the metal, prior to the more refined polishing

GEMSTONE SETTING

Now it's time to add the all important sparkle! Our goldsmiths begin the painstaking work of setting your gemstones. Our delicate rub-settings require the keenest eye and the steadiest hand.

POLISHING & QUALITY CHECK

Your Legacy jewellery will be cleaned and polished until it's absolutely dazzling. Final and rigorous quality checks are carried out to make sure your new piece is worthy of it's lifetime guarantee...

.....and ta-dah - it's time to be reunited.
