From a glob of metal, in this case 18 karat white gold, the ring is formed and ready to be cut to the right size.

The ring is being sawed at the correct size point so it can be soldered together into one continuous piece.

The ring is being heated and the two ends soldered together.

Once it has been sanded and shaped, it is checked to make sure that the millimeter width is correct.

Little holes are carved into the band where the diamonds will eventually be set.
