Freeman Jewelers

Freeman Jewelers...the Ring Makers!
We have been known as the Ring Makers for the better part of 3 decades now, and for good reason!  Larry Freeman and our very talented goldsmiths/designers have created hundreds of custom jewelry items for our customers through the years.  Freeman Jewelers has always taken pride in our quality, unique designs.

An aspect of making custom jewelry for our customers that we love is our ability to utilize previously worn jewelry, heirloom pieces and old wedding bands/engagement rings to create something completely new! 

Here is one such story...
Brian came into Freeman Jewelers hoping he could create a new ring using his old wedding band along with his late wife’s wedding band and engagement ring.  We looked through several catalogs before finding the design he was looking to create. 

Scott started off with a blank wax ‘ring’ to begin carving the design.  Using only a picture from the catalog, he was able to match the design of the ring almost exactly, using the blank wax as his ‘canvas’ to begin creating his newest design.

Brian was called in to OK the design of the wax carving before moving forward. Brian then brought in their wedding rings, along with an old necklace he had purchased for her in case we needed more gold.  Brian had lost his wife way too soon to lung cancer and wanted to have something made using the rings they had used to exchange their vows to design something he could wear everyday.

Scott, our goldsmith/designer, had to heat the gold up to melting point before casting the rings into the wax mold he created.  The finished casting is a little rough around the edges as you can see in this ‘sprue’ before he puts on the finishing touches.

Brian had bought his wife a 0.67 carat round brilliant cut diamond that he wanted to incorporate into the ring design.  Scott was able to set the diamond into a 14kt white gold plate in the center of the ring and apply the multi-finish to his new creation.  Brian absolutely loved the final product.   We are very proud to have created something Brian can wear everyday in memory of his wife.
