How long does it take to make a Sterling Silver Ring?
sorry i don't know what category to put this in.
I ordered a sterling silver wedding band for my husband-to-be. It cost $269. I spoke to the man who is making the ring on the phone twice.
I paid for the ring on Saturday. Yesterday (monday) he called me to confirm the size of the ring and he wanted to know what inscription I would like. I gave him the details.
TODAY (tuesday) I get an email saying the ring is finished and is already shipped. This surprises me because I thought making a ring ..handmade..would take some time..more than a day. I'm wondering if this ring is fake..not really sterling silver...or if this is normal?
Anyone know? thanks
I looked on youtube..and this one company gives instructions on how to make a Sterling Silver Rings and it looks like a lengthy process. 117 steps to make the ring.
The price actually sounds excessive for a sterling silver ring as regards to the time it is more than possible that they have the blanks already made up by hand to just finish as the customer requires when ordered in which case the time would be fine. The time taken to produce the ring would not be affected by the actual metal it was made of and just because something is handmade does not mean it can not be made in advance unless the whole design was to your specification.
