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.

Wax bundles are great for practicing with or if you are sharing your kit with someone who has a different sized finger to you.

What is the cost of casting waxes from bundles?

Can I buy a £10 top up wax bundle without a kit?
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.
Can I make a gold ring?
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.

We automatically send you a catalogue alongside our video tutorials. Gemstones starts from £20 including the setting. Some of the stones available include sapphire, emerald, diamond and garnet etc. We can also source any stones that are not listed in the catalogue as long as it fits within your carved blue wax.
