Design Your Own Silver Ring

Yes. You keep all the tools in your kit which means you can continue to practice the art of wax carving!

Yes, once you have carved your ring in wax you can either drop it to the store at 'Kas & Ros' or return it via the addressed envelope we have included in your pack.

No. You will be provided with one 4 to 5mm wax that can be cast into silver which is included in the price of your 'at home kit'. You will also receive a second wax to practice in, you can pay extra to have this cast in silver (each extra ring you have cast costs £45 based on a 4 to 5mm wax and would be paid for when you return your waxes to us - you will be sent a payment link for this). We also have put together a 'Top Up Wax Kit' for £10 where you can receive 4 pre-sized waxes.

Based on an average ladies hand- X-Small: C-H (little finger) Small: I-M (ring finger) Medium: N-Q (middle, index, thumb) Based on an average mens hand - Small: I-M (little finger) Large: R-V (middle) X-Large: W-Z (index, thumb)

If you know your ring size between UK size A to Z+6 we will pre-size your wax for you otherwise you can order waxes in xsmall, small, medium, large, xlarge, and xxlarge. You will be sent a ring sizer with your pack so you can check your size and let us know before casting so we can size it for you. If you have no idea about your ring size we can either post out a ring sizer for £2.50 beforehand including postage, or we can help guide you based on images or by measuring the diameter of a ring you already have. We are happy to exchange any untouched waxes of the wrong size.

Each kit will come with waxes either in Xsmall, small, medium, large and Xlarge etc If you both fall between the same size, for example small covers size I,J,K,L,M then you can make two different size rings within these sizes. However, If its a completely different size then you would need to order a top up bundle for £10 in a different size. You receive one silver ring to be cast within the price of the kit, any extra wax rings you would like cast would cost £45

We offer three different top up wax bundles priced at £10 each (plus postage if being bought separate to the kit). Each top up bundle will comprise of waxes in the same size category. Wax bundles are great for practicing with or if you are sharing your kit with someone who has a different sized finger to you. Bundle 1: 4x standard waxes Bundle 2: 2x standard waxes, 1x wide wax Bundle 3: 2x wide waxes

Standard wax (4-5mm) - £45 each Wide wax (8-10mm) - £65 each And these would be paid for when you post back your waxes to us.

No, you can only buy a top up wax bundle after you have bought a kit. You can pay for this before your kit is posted and have it sent with your kit. You will receive information about the top up bundles once your kit is ordered, we will then forward a payment link for any bundles you would like sent with your kit.

Yes, you can either choose to gold plate your ring by selecting this option on your order form when returning your ring for casting or you can opt for a solid 9 or 18ct gold ring. Both these options would be at an additional cost. Gold plating based on a 4 to 5mm wax costs £40. We are only able to quote for gold once we receive your carved ring. Your wax will be weighed and converted into metal weight (9ct, 18ct or platinum etc) and quoted based on the live gold price.
