The lost wax and casting method
The lost wax casting technique is a method used by jewellers and artists to create unique, detailed pieces that usually can not be made in the hand-fabricated process. In wax, you are able to bend, carve, shape, melt, file, and texture your piece. The creative possibilities are endless. This process makes a model of your piece, to then be casted into your chosen alloy
(metal). We outsource this process to be professionally done. This ensures your piece will be casted exactly as you made it.
