Len Wilcox, the son of a diamond mounter, worked in London and Geneva, For many years he taught at the Sir John Cass School of Art and its successor institutions. He made the sequence shown here as a teaching aid. It shows the stages of manufacture by hand of a solitaire ring (Museum nos. M.235 to 250-2007). The ninth one shows the square wire for the shank of the ring milled to make it thinner and longer.
