Antique Timepieces & Jewelry

Description

ANTIQUE TIMEPIECES carries a unique selection of hand made antique style jewelry. Our rings are made by an old fashion manufacturing process called "die-struck". A negative and positive "die" is hand cut from high quality steel. The negative die is placed in a heavy duty anvil. The positive die is mounted in a 500 pound 18' high drop hammer. These are old French tools from the turn of the century. Gold or platinum sheet is placed on top of the negative die and the positve die strikes it at 60,000 pounds per square inch. The excesss is then trimmed, the sections of the ring are then soldered together, the leaves, flowers and trim are then hand-engraved.
