Usually
a client has their logo already established and they just require
it produced in precious metal. Some things we keep in mind and
try to adjust to make a better product are:
• Avoid large raised solid areas. These areas create
porosity, which is the formation of small pinholes on the surface
of the solid area. They go deep into the pin and usually cannot
be polished off without the risk of ruining the design. Try the
option of recessing the large area so that this problem does not
occur.
• Avoid large pins. Anything over 1" in size
runs the same risk of porosity because of the large mass of metal
trying to cool quickly. Our maximum size is a 1 .5" circular
radius. Any design that extends past that cannot be flattened
properly in the machinery. Also, large pins increase the price
significantly.
• Prices in the catalogue are approximate. We always
weigh the finished item and price it according to actual finished
weight. The larger the raised area the more it will weigh, and
the more it will cost.
• All jewellery is packaged in a suedine gift box and is
included in the price of the jewellery item. Gift-wrapping is
available at an extra charge.
• Engraving is available at an extra charge for any jewellery
engraving (providing area has been left solid for the Engraveable
information).
• Plastic ring sizers and wax models are available.

• Resizing of rings will be charged $15.00 per size increase
or decrease. If the resizing is too drastic a change, we will
not be able to do it. Most rings are made to a certain range of
sizes; if you extend or reduce that size too much the ring will
either crack on the shoulders or warp the shape of the head. Generally
anything over/under 3 sizes is not acceptable or guaranteed
