We begin with a one-on-one consultation to explore your ideas and inspiration. Whether you have a full Pinterest board or just a feeling, we’ll help shape it into something real.
We make sure we're aligned on your vision before moving forward.
Using MatrixGold CAD software, our designers turn your ideas into a detailed 3D model. This model reflects exact dimensions, proportions, and angles - giving you full control over how your ring will look.
You'll receive realistic renderings to review, and we'll make any revisions needed until you're 100% happy.
Once your CAD is approved, we create a wax or resin model using high-resolution 3D printing. We use this exact prototype internally within Aardvark to physically check the design before casting. (This is not a step you see and the wax moulds cannot be reused after future steps, so they are not shipped as part of your order, but it is important to us that we check the design before moving forward with casting.)
With the mould ready, molten metal (gold, platinum or your choice) is poured or injected into the cavity using vacuum or centrifugal casting. Once cooled, the raw ring is revealed.
The sprue is removed, and the ring is carefully polished through multiple stages using:
This stage ensures a smooth, flawless finish and brings out the metal's natural brilliance.
Our skilled stone setters secure your gemstone(s) using techniques like:
We verify each stone for alignment, symmetry, and security under magnification.
After setting, the ring receives a final polish and undergoes a full inspection to ensure:
The finished ring is placed in a beautiful Aardvark Jewellery presentation box and delivered to you - ready for proposal, gifting, or personal celebration.
