What is “Forging”?
Most people don’t know what the meaning of “forging”, hence, we are here to explain a little to you. The word “Forging” refers to a generic term which describes metal working process by forming metal workpieces with high heat and pressure.
Forging is the process of shaping different material such as gold and/or platinum by applying high amount of direct pressure, to stretch and bend them.
Some facts that you may or may not know,
1. Forging process can create things that are harder than most other process, eg. casting etc.
2. Airplanes, automobiles, ships, engines and even missiles are also created by forging method.
3. Forging method has a history of over 6000 years and goes all the way back to as early as 4000 BC or earlier.
Forging, in Japan, is a very traditional technique handed down since ancient times. Stuff like Japanese swords, knives, certain cutleries, etc., are also made with forging method.
Since, lesser craftsmen are taking over forging techniques, things that are made using this specific method are becoming rare and aren’t commonly seen in accessories stores.
Smooth finish
Forging increases the density of the metal, resulting in a smoother finish with a heavier overall feel. The hardness of the surface is also higher, resulting in a stronger shine when polished. Also, when the surface is processed, the craftsman will carefully give it a light knock with a hammer to create different designs and outlooks. The end result is what makes the craftsmen proud and the owner of the rings happy and in love.
Many deemed the rings they’ve seen is simple looking, while others deemed the forging process to be simple. But seldom has ever thought of the fact that making with this method requires a high amount of patience as knocking, hammering, or even pulling requires a high amount of skills and some amount of timeframe. Let alone to talk about making of rings which is only a very small piece. You’ll need great eyesight and a pair of very sturdy hands as well. Every little mistake can cause the rings to be ruined and they’ll have to remake the rings.
Forging is a way to create a ring, for you to have the option to choose the materials such as yellow gold, white gold, pink gold, and platinum. We hope you can find a ring that is satisfactory for you both, comparing various aspects such as budget and comfort.
