The Casting Types: Explained

We have three different casting types to help us categorise any jewellery creation that we receive. The main differences between each one are simply limitations on the wax weight and whether the type is for single-item jewellery (such as a ring, or a pendant), or for paired item jewellery (such as a pair of earrings - not two individual jewellery items like two rings).

Summary

The Classic

Our most popular casting type covers most standard jewellery pieces that we make. This casting type is designed for single-item jewellery, such as rings, pendants, charms, pet tags and more! The wax weight limit on this is 1.5g, which is roughly 50% of the starting 5mm ring wax mould. This is plenty for most jewellery designs!!

The Statement

For those of you creatives looking for a showpiece - something with more weight and substance to wow! The statement casting type offers more flexibility with design, thickness and size. The wax weight limit of this type is 1.5g, and you'll have both 5mm and 8mm thicknesses of ring wax moulds to start with in addition to the square, bar and circle wax types.

The Double Luxe

Perfect for paired jewellery items, we can now take two earring waxes or cufflink waxes and cast them together. Our team will then hand-finish your jewellery and affix the earring posts or cufflink clasps for you - don't sweat it! The wax weight limit for the Double Luxe is 0.7g / each wax. But, be careful... earrings at the upper limit can be heavy and uncomfortable to wear!

It's also important to note that this casting type is strictly for paired jewellery items only! This means lightweight earrings and cufflinks. Due to our production process, we cannot cast two different waxes (i.e. two rings, or a ring and a pendant) under this casting type. It's difficult to explain, but we just can't. Sorry.
