Have a signet ring made from an old wedding band
Having a signet ring made takes on a special significance when the piece is crafted from an old wedding band. In this case, an old wedding band served as the foundation for a new signet ring, combining memories, sentimental value, and craftsmanship.
The process began by melting down the old wedding ring. The gold from the ring was carefully heated and then rolled into a sheet of the correct thickness. This is an essential part of the craft: reshaping the gold from an old wedding ring without losing its value or history.
This signet ring was crafted entirely by hand from this piece of metal. All components were cut from the metal of the old wedding band and carefully assembled, with meticulous attention to the correct dimensions and proportions. The result is a ring that is technically sound and perfectly balanced in both form and appearance.
A signet ring with hand engraving made from an old wedding band
The most distinctive feature of this signet ring is the hand-engraved seal. Working closely with the client, we designed a monogram that reflects the person’s personality and the significance of the old wedding ring. This personal touch makes the ring truly unique.
The monogram was hand-engraved into the gold of the old wedding ring using various engraving tools. By working with engraving tools of various shapes and sizes, depth is created in the engraving. Not only are the lines recessed into the gold, but the cut surfaces also cause the edges to shimmer subtly. This gives the signet ring a vibrant and refined appearance.
The engraving is performed entirely under a microscope. This allows for complete control over every line and movement in the gold of the old wedding band. This precision ensures that the monogram is sharp, elegant, and durable in the engraving.
An old wedding ring given a new lease on life
Having an old wedding ring transformed into a signet ring is a way to give an existing piece of jewelry a new lease on life. The emotional value of the wedding ring is preserved, while its form is transformed into a piece of jewelry that can be worn again.
The gold from the old wedding ring thus takes on a new meaning—not as a keepsake tucked away in a drawer, but as a tangible piece of jewelry that can be worn every day.
