Cast Jewelry—Lost Wax Technique
Each unique wax model was slowly built up –drop by drop—by melting wax over an open alcohol flame on the blade of a re-purposed dental instrument. Creating each wax model took many hours and, sometimes, several days or weeks to get it just right. The model was then encased in a plaster-of-Paris like substance and heated to melt the wax (leaving a cavity for the metal). Then the metal was melted and injected into this cavity.

Before showing you the rest of the cast pieces, I wanted to show you the three stages that every piece of my cast jewelry goes through:
(1) building the design in a very specialized kind of wax, called Peck’s Purple;
(2) removing the metal from the casting medium and thoroughly washing it under running water. Those delivery tubes to get the metal to all parts of the model (called sprues) are still attached to our ring. They need to be sawed off with a specialized saw blade and the attachment points smoothed and sculpted to match the original wax model;
