Understanding the brief

At LWSilver, we believe that every piece of jewellery we create should reflect the personality of the client. It’s not as simple as choosing styles, metals, and gemstones. Any wedding bands we forge are intended to last the wearer a lifetime of wedded bliss, after all. So we sat down with Ross and had him tell us about himself, his bride-to-be, and what he wanted from a hand-made wedding ring.

We learned that Ross was a major Star Wars fan and wanted something that reflected his own inner Force (we assume he belongs to the Light Side – he’s a nice guy!). He also told us how he is an English teacher, with a deep and abiding love of the arts.

This is the sort of insight that we love to hear, as it allows us to make jewellery as unique as our customers.

Simple and solid

The design for this ring is a simple one – a silver band with gold detail. We knew Ross wanted something that resonated with his fandom, but we knew that, aside from some Chancellarian rings of office, there weren’t many examples of male jewellery in the franchise. Therefore, we decided upon a stark, silver band with a satin finish, picked out with three gold stripes, representing the three important people in Ross’s life. The ring itself weighs in at around 300g, making it reassuringly heavy on the finger.

Making the ring

The finished article was forged at our Wirral workshop from the finest sterling silver. Sections we cut out of the silver band to accommodate the 9ct gold stripes, which were carefully inlaid into the band. To give it its fine satin finish, we used a specialist polishing wheel, creating the beautiful burnished appearance you can see on screen.

I absolutely love this ring. I have it as my wedding ring and its great, really comfortable and beautifully made. Lisa was amazing throughout the process with me, size is perfect, ring is wearing really nicely as well, the matte finish has a real life and the gold catches the light brilliantly. Love it!
