Me and my fiance are making our own wedding rings but we're having difficulty figuring out where we could buy investment and what kind of investment we'd need for the casts if we use silver for the rings. Do I have to order it online or can I get it somewhere? What kind of investment do I get? We're using 3d printed molds for the cast.

you can buy sterling silver anywhere. online or local. it will cost more than bullion silver per troy ounce but silver bullion is 99.999 percent silver and not suitable to jewelry.

that ring looks uncomfy as fuck, but neat. just make sure it doesnt have hard edges or it will be uncomfortable, a rotary tumbler with stainless steel pins would soften it too (ammo reloaders),
unless that is a dragon cock ring [it is 4chan, sorry i literally had to]. i think it looks cool

probably shouldnt have the cast with the numbers, have that part engraved in later but IDK

Did you try google?

Doesn't that kind of intricate pattern pretty much require vacuum or spin casting?

I hammered one out of a copper penny.
Good luck

You could get them 3d printed.

Or you could make a plaster mold, and cast them.

Pick.

Didn't see the thing about investment powder.

Make it more pointy and obnoxious before you go into production. You want to be sure to cut your own face and snag every porous object around you throughout your days together.

> We have both.

A semi-professional centrifuge caster costs 100s of bucks, I don't even know of any small size vacuum casters for rings. Yet you don't have investment?

Did you just start throwing 1000s of bucks at this for shits and giggles?
>>
so how DO you make a ring?

how do jewellers do it with pretty gems?
>>
shapeways turns 3d models into silver or gold if you don't want to cast it yourself

Not OP, but for those prices it seems hard for DIY to make sense.

Carve the ring out of wax.

Attach sprue to wax to allow a pour hole + vent

Pour investment over wax, harden in a kiln, melt out wax.

Pour molten metal into investment, apply vacuum beneath investment to draw the metal through the entirety of the ring

Quench the investment, pull out the ring, cut off the sprue and clean that shit up.

That's the basics of what I was taught in school, but it was real rudimentary.
