Continue the Ring Making Tour


Finishing

The goldsmith files and polishes the rough gold casting.  This is the preliminary stage of finishing.  The ring will go through many  processes of cleaning and polishing until it is perfect, smooth and gleaming.
Assembling the ring.  Most quality rings are made of separately cast pieces.  The settings for the stones could be separate pieces.  A ring could be assembled of different sections each a different colour of gold.

The ring is meticulously cleaned, polished and buffed until it sparkles.  This mount is ready for the gem setter, who sets the gemstones into the ring.  Then a final polish and off to the showcase or onto a lucky person's finger.
