Welcome to Garage Bands

Kurt has been using lost wax casting and other traditional methods to make jewellery since 2018

The lost-wax process used to make Garage Bands is intentionally slow. This helps produce differences and individuality in every single piece, meaning no two Garage Bands are the same. 

This online store consists of one-off designs that are already made and ready to ship. as well as a small core set of designs that are available to be ordered. 

If you are interested in custom pieces please email Kurt@garagebands.com.au with your enquiry. 
Once the design has been confirmed and paid for allow for 3-5 weeks to complete.

Kurt loves producing custom commission pieces and making your ideas and stories manifest in fun and explorative ways.  

HOW to order a custom garage bands piece

METAL
The metals I use are all %100 recycled 
primary options are

  • sterling silver 

  • 9k yellow gold

  • 9k white gold

  • 18k yellow gold

I also use 14k yellow gold, 18k rose gold, 18k white gold and 22k yellow gold.


STONES

I use a variety of stones including both natural and lab-grown options, Please note that not all stones are always available and some stones may need to be specially sourced and add time to the project.  
Not all stones are able to be used in every design due to the hardness and structure of the stone. 
If you have heirloom stones that you would like to use, Please send photos (+ measurements if you have them). I am mostly happy to use these in designs but shipping costs will need to be covered by the client. Please be aware that this is at the client's own risk if the stones are damaged during the process. 


TIMEFRAME
Usually, it takes 3-5 weeks to complete a ring. However, this does depend on the time of year and availability.
If you do need the piece by a certain date please let me know and I will try to accommodate.
All pieces are shipped express 

BUDGET
Let me know a rough price range to see if I am able to work on your piece. If there are alternatives I will let you know. If you are in need of a payment plan, please don't hesitate to ask. I will do my best to accommodate 

Ring Sizing

At Garage Bands, we use the UK/Aus Finger sizing on our products. This can be converted to any sizing system quite easily. If you are unsure feel free to email and we will be able to give you a hand converting to your size.

The easiest and most accurate way to get a ring sized is to stop by any Jewellery store and they will get it just right for you, for free.

The next best way is to measure the diameter of a ring that fits you already. Just lay it down on a ruler and get the maximum inside distance of the ring. Be sure to get it as close as possible, even half a mm can make a difference. Feel free to email a picture through.

You can also order “Ring Multisizer” online for a couple of dollars.

We do not offer ring resizing. however, if you do need a resize I am happy to point you in the right direction :)
