FROM REBECCA CORDINGLEY

I carved this pendant out of wax and have had a mould made. When I receive your sterling silver pendant back from the casting business, I will file it down where necessary, clean it up and polish it.

LOST WAX CASTING

Lost wax casting is an ancient metalsmithing technique. It is used to create duplicates of pieces, including shapes that cannot easily be made using traditional fabrication techniques.

The jeweller creates a wax model of the piece (in this case a necklace) and sends it off to the casting business. A plaster mould of the wax model is made and then filled with molten metal (sterling silver, gold, bronze etc) and allowed to cool. The jeweller then files down this master and cleans it up before returning it to the casting business to have a permanent mould made. This mould can be used to have further wax model copies made and more metal pieces cast.

This necklace is made to order.

Please allow approximately 3 business days for your necklace to be made and dispatched.
