How it's made
01
Carved in wax
Each design starts as a hand-carved wax model, shaped and refined at the bench.
02
Cast in recycled metal
Using the lost-wax method, the model is cast in recycled sterling silver or 14k, 18k or 22k gold.
03
Finished by hand
Every piece is filed, set and polished in the Seattle studio, then shipped to you in 4–6 weeks.
Customs & Engagement
Every piece begins with a story.
Studio Bean began with a special ring, Nicole’s own engagement ring, made from her grandmother’s engagement ring. Custom work still starts the same way, a conversation, a sketch, and a wax model carved by hand.
