How To Find your Ring Size
The best way to find your ring size is to come into the studio or visit a local jeweller. If you cant make it into the studio this is a convientent way to measure your finger.
When measuring your finger make sure the paper, string or what ever you use slides on and off your finger easily. Try and the make paper the width of the ring for example if you are buying a 5mm wide band make the width of the paper 5mm. Usually for wider/thicker bands you will need to go up .5 - 1 size.

What is Sand Cast Jewellery?
Sand casting is an ancient method of making jewellery.
Sand casting is a technique where jeweller’s sands such as Delft clay, red clay, or natural beach sand are used to create a mould, into which an impression is pressed using a wax model or small object—such as a shell, ring, twig, or button. Molten metal is then heated and poured into the mould, where it cools and solidifies to form a solid sterling silver or gold piece. As each mould is destroyed during the casting process, no two pieces are ever identical, ensuring every creation is entirely unique.
