When my girlfriend who was head bridesmaid caught the bouquet at a wedding I knew it was time to get my act together and start making a ring.
The final molding, casting, filing, and polishing only took two days but this followed 3 or 4 months of planning and practicing. I did 4 casting attempts over a month and realised that although I was able to make the ring I was never going to be able to set the stone myself.
