When creating wedding rings I often use a technique called “married metals”. A number of metal alloys are soldered together and the contrasting colours form a pattern. A bit like Intarsia – inlaid wood. The surface is smooth and the pattern seen as colour tones. “Married metals” is suitable for crafting very personal and unique rings. The initials of the couple, special symbols or references can be incoporated in the design.

My colour “palette” is silver (light grey), white gold (dark grey), gold and rose gold.

I also apply this technique when crafting other jewellery to match the rings. It can be cuff links, earrings or pendants. Ideal presents for bride and groom or for other special occasions such as anniversaries or birthdays.
