The story behind VANBRUUN rings
At VANBRUUN, every ring is a testament to the highest standards of craftsmanship and dedication. Our rings represent a perfected combination of expert knowledge and a passion for timeless design. Let us guide you through the artistry and precision that goes into every piece we create, rings crafted to last a lifetime.
The production - step by step
1. Design and wax model
Every ring begins with a detailed design that’s transformed into an exact wax replica of the final piece. The wax model ensures perfect proportions, curves, and settings before casting.
2. Creating the mold
The wax model is attached to a wax “tree,” allowing several rings to be made at once. The tree is encased in a plaster-like investment that hardens into a durable mold.
3. Casting the metal
The mold is heated until the wax melts away, leaving a precise cavity. Molten 18K Yellow Gold, 18K Rose Gold, 18K White Gold, or 950 Platinum is then poured in to form each ring in solid metal.
4. Releasing, refining, and assembling
Once cooled, the mold is opened and the raw rings are separated from the casting tree. Each piece is cleaned, smoothed, and pre-polished. If the design has multiple parts, they are joined seamlessly for strength and symmetry.
5. Preparing and setting the stones
Each diamond seat is prepared to match its exact measurements. The setter then secures every stone by hand with millimeter precision, ensuring perfect alignment and lasting security.
6. Final finish and hallmarks
All rings receive a final mirror polish and are engraved with both the metal hallmark and our VB hallmark as a mark of authenticity.
Inspection and presentation
Each ring passes two quality checks, first at our production in the UK and then a final quality check at our head office. When approved, it is carefully placed in a VANBRUUN box and prepared for delivery.
Each VANBRUUN ring tells a story of skilled craftsmanship, meticulous attention to detail, and the timeless beauty of precious metals. From the first spark of inspiration to the final polishing touch, our rings are built to last, serving as a lasting symbol of your most cherished moments.
