What is lost wax casting

Here at CAST, we take your wax creations and transform them to metal by employing the ancient process of 'Lost Wax Casting'.

The journey is as follows:

1. Each jewellery piece is carefully attached to a tree of castings
2. We mount this tree inside a vacuum canister and entomb it in casting plaster
3. Once set, we heat up the plaster to 'burn out' the wax, leaving a perfect empty cavity of your jewellery design
4. Again, in another vacuum, we fill the plaster canister with molten precious metal (i.e. 925 silver, gold etc)
5. Leave to cool
6. Dissolve the plaster in acid, cut each jewellery piece away and get to work cleaning, and finishing your unique jewellery design to spec.
