5 wax carved ring designs for inspiration
The wax carving technique that we learn about at my Bristol jewellery making workshops is ideal for exploring designs that have a slightly chunkier, more 3D and/or more textured feel than pieces you might make from flat sheet or wire. Although the blue jewellers wax that we use is hard, it is easily cut into with files and carving tools enabling you to create a range of stunning effects. So, whether you want to make your own signet ring, wax carve a chunky band or create a pretty granulated silver ring it's all possible!
