Step 1
The form to be created is first sculpted from wax.
Step 2
Then it is fixed inside a flask and immersed in liquid plaster.
Step 3
Once the plaster has set, the flask is placed inside a hot oven. The wax melts and runs out, leaving a hollow cavity in its place.
Step 4
This cavity is then used as a mold for molten metal, to create an exact replica of the original wax form.
Step 5
The jewelry piece is cleaned, filed and polished to perfection. Ready for the Mirror to be set.
