Does the Try-On Wax Ring Model Experience Add to the Cost?

No. There are no additional charges for having your own personal collection of ring designs, immersive 3D visuals, and wearable wax ring models to explore before your ring is handcrafted. Many clients are surprised to discover that a bespoke engagement ring can offer better value than a comparable ready-made ring. Because you are investing directly in the materials, craftsmanship, and design of your ring, rather than in the costs associated with mass production and retail markups, you receive a ring created exclusively for you, without the premium often associated with luxury brands.

Can I see different diamond sizes and shapes in the wax ring model?

Yes. Temporary diamonds or gemstones can be placed into the wax model, helping you visualise how different stone sizes and shapes will look within the design before making a final decision.

Will my wedding ring fit alongside my engagement ring?

One of the advantages of wearable wax ring models is the ability to assess how an engagement ring will sit alongside a future wedding ring. Adjustments can be made during the design stage to ensure a comfortable fit and an attractive appearance when worn together.

How long does the engagement ring design process take?

Most bespoke engagement ring commissions take between three and five weeks from design approval. The design stage, including wearable wax ring models and stone selection, allows every detail to be refined before the ring is handcrafted in David's Hatton Garden workshop.

Can I commission an engagement ring if I am not based in London?

Yes. David works with clients throughout the UK and internationally using video consultations, immersive 3D design presentations, and wearable wax ring models that can be shipped directly to you. Diamonds and gemstones can be viewed through detailed 360-degree video presentations, allowing you to compare your options with complete confidence. Alternatively, you can take advantage of David's Travelling Jeweller service, available across London and the Home Counties, bringing the bespoke engagement ring experience directly to you.

What is the deposit amount and payment structure for the wax ring try-on?

A £250 design deposit, credited towards your final balance, marks the start of your try-on wax bespoke engagement ring experience. Once your design and materials are approved, a 50% production deposit is required, with the remaining balance due on collection or delivery. This structure ensures clarity and confidence at every stage of the process.

Can I use a family heirloom stone with a try-on wax ring model?

Absolutely. Heirloom diamonds and gemstones can be incorporated into a new design and laid into the try-on wax model.

Try-On Wax Ring Models Have Transformed Bespoke Jewellery

For generations, commissioning bespoke jewellery often required clients to make decisions based solely on sketches and their imagination. Today, CAD design and wearable wax models remove that uncertainty.

Rather than wondering how a design will feel once completed, you can see it, wear it, compare alternatives, and refine every detail before the final piece is handcrafted. It combines the confidence people associate with choosing from a collection of finished jewellery with the freedom and individuality of creating something uniquely yours.

What Is a CAD Jewellery Design?

Before your wearable wax model is produced, David creates a detailed 3D CAD (Computer-Aided Design) model of your engagement ring. Unlike traditional sketches, CAD designs let you view your ring from every angle, assess proportions, and make changes before proceeding to the wax model stage.

Wear Multiple Jewellery Design Ideas Before Committing

Visualising your ideas as 3D designs allows you to explore different design concepts before making any decisions, while wearable try-on wax models have transformed the way bespoke jewellery is created.

Your preferred designs are transformed into a personal collection of wearable try-on wax models, allowing you to experience your jewellery in a way that traditional sketches never could. Diamonds and coloured gemstones can be temporarily set into the models, helping you visualise how the finished piece will come to life before production begins.

Experience Your Jewellery Before It Is Made

You can assess how a ring sits on the finger, how a bangle rests around the wrist, how a pendant lies, how earrings dangle, and how cufflinks sit on a shirt cuff. You can compare different settings, explore proportions, and discover how subtle refinements can transform the finished design.

For engagement and wedding rings, you can also see how designs complement one another before making your final decision. The result is greater confidence, fewer compromises, and a jewellery piece that feels right long before it reaches the workshop.

Try-On Wax Ring Models FAQ’s

Do Try-On Wax Jewellery Models Add to the Cost?

No. Try-on wax jewellery models form part of David's bespoke design process and are included within the agreed design fee. They allow you to refine your design, compare options, and make informed decisions before your jewellery is handcrafted, helping to avoid costly changes later in the process.

Can I Compare Multiple Jewellery Designs Before Choosing My Favourite?

Yes. One of the greatest advantages of David's design process is the opportunity to explore multiple ideas before committing to a final design. You can compare different styles, proportions, settings, and design details, helping you identify the jewellery piece that feels exactly right for you.

Can I See Different Diamond and Gemstone Options in the Wax Model?

Yes. Diamonds and coloured gemstones can be temporarily placed into the wax models, allowing you to compare different sizes, shapes, and gemstone options. This helps you visualise how the finished jewellery will look and ensures you can make your final selection with confidence.

Do I Need to Travel to London to Experience Try-On Wax Jewellery Models?

No. While you are welcome to meet David at his London studio, many clients work with him remotely or through his Travelling Jeweller service. Designs, wax models, and gemstone selections can all be shared and reviewed without the need for regular trips to London, allowing clients across the UK and beyond to enjoy the same personalised experience.

Can I Use a Family Heirloom Stone with a Try-On Wax Model?

Yes. Family diamonds and coloured gemstones can often be incorporated into the design process. David will assess the stone, discuss the available options, and where appropriate, use the stone or a suitable substitute during the design stage to help you visualise how the finished piece will look before production begins.

How Long Does a Bespoke Jewellery Commission Take to Create?

Most bespoke jewellery commissions are completed within four to six weeks from final design approval. The exact timescale depends on the complexity of the design and the gemstones involved. The use of 3D designs and try-on wax models often helps streamline the process by allowing key decisions to be made before production begins.
