Why Ring Casting Matters
Casting a ring isn’t like casting any other form of jewellery. Rings are subject to constant wear, which means strength, proportion, and finish all need to be exact. Customers expect them to fit comfortably from the first try — and to last a lifetime.
That’s why precision is everything. The right casting gives designers the freedom to explore creative shapes and textures, settings and mounts while giving retailers the assurance that bespoke requests can be met without compromise. For brands, ring casting is what ensures every piece in a collection feels consistent — the same quality, the same sizing, every time.
Types of Ring Casting We Provide
Wedding, Engagement & Eternity Rings
Classic forms where comfort, durability, and precision are non-negotiable. We cast everything from solitaire settings, eternity bands, wedding rings, and bridal sets that meet the highest expectations.
Signet Rings
Bold, heavy designs that need strong foundations and clean surfaces for engraving. Our process ensures durability and detail that lasts.
Statement & Fashion Rings
Larger, more experimental designs that push creativity. We provide the accuracy and surface quality that makes bold concepts a reality.
Bespoke Commissions
One-off customer requests are part of everyday retail. We support jewellers by turning sketches, CAD files, or wax models into cast rings that fit perfectly and honour the original design.
Materials for Ring Casting
Every ring has a story to tell, and the choice of metal shapes not only how it looks, but how it feels and lasts. At Weston Beamor, we cast rings in a full range of alloys, so you can match the right material to your design, your customer, and your market.
- Gold – From 9ct through to 22ct, in yellow, white, or rose, gold remains the foundation of fine jewellery. We also offer recycled and SMO gold, giving you the ability to pair timeless beauty with clear provenance.
- Platinum – Known for its strength and natural whiteness, platinum is the classic choice for bridal, engagement, and eternity rings. Its durability means pieces are made to last a lifetime.
- Silver – Versatile and accessible, silver allows creativity at a more approachable price point, making it ideal for both fashion-led and entry-level fine jewellery.
- Brass – Often used for prototypes, masters, or fashion pieces, brass provides a reliable and affordable way to test designs before moving into precious metals.
With this breadth of choice, you can offer customers rings that are not only beautifully made but also aligned with their values, their budget, and the way they want to wear them.
The Ring Casting Process at Weston Beamor
The principles of lost wax casting are well known, but casting a ring demands care and attention to detail. A small shift in flow or shrinkage can change the size, weight, or comfort. That’s why we pay close attention at every stage.
- Model Preparation – Waxes, CAD files, and 3D prints are refined to ensure accuracy before casting begins.
- Spruing & Investment – Rings are sprued and placed on a casting tree with care so metal flows evenly, avoiding porosity or distortion.
- Burnout – Temperatures are controlled to cleanly remove wax without leaving residue.
- Casting – The right conditions are set for each alloy, so the final ring matches both the design and its intended wear.
By solving common issues like porosity, shrinkage, and sizing inconsistencies, we ensure every ring comes out true to the design and ready to be worn with confidence.
The Benefits of Our Ring Casting Service
Designers often start with an idea on paper or a CAD model — and the challenge is making sure that what’s imagined is exactly what comes out in metal. Our casting process protects those details, so the finished ring feels like a true extension of the design, not a compromise.
For retailers, the pressure comes from the customer standing at the counter who expects their ring to be perfect. Reliability matters: a ring that arrives on time, true to size, and ready to finish. That peace of mind is what we aim to give you every time.
Brands face a different challenge — consistency. A collection can’t succeed if one ring looks or feels different from the next. We make sure every size, every shank, every setting is repeatable at scale, so when your customer slips a ring on their finger, they get exactly what they expect.
Finishing & Hallmarking
A ring isn’t complete until it feels right on the hand. As part of our bespoke service, from design and CAD through to the finished piece, we polish, refine, and finish castings to create comfort-fit bands, smooth edges, and clean surfaces ready for engraving or setting. With our on-site Birmingham sub-assay office located in our building, hallmarking is handled quickly and seamlessly, keeping your projects on schedule.
Sustainability in Ring Casting
Rings often mark the most significant occasions in a person’s life, and many customers want that meaning to extend to how their jewellery is made. That’s why we provide recycled gold and silver and SMO gold, alongside energy-efficient production and responsible supply chains.
For you, it means being able to meet customer demand for responsible jewellery without adding complexity to your workflow. For your customers, it means a piece that carries both personal and ethical significance.
