PRODUCTION PROCESS

Carving a red wax jewelry model by hand 3D printing jewelry models
01

Design & Modeling

Every piece starts with a model, either hand-carved in wax or designed in 3D modeling software. Each design goes through several versions and adjustments until the shape and proportions feel just right.

Rubber molds used to reproduce jewelry designs

Mold Making

Once the design is complete, the first model is cast in metal and used to create a precise rubber mold for reproducing the design.

Wax models and rubber molds prepared for casting

Casting

Wax is injected into the rubber mold and sent to a professional casting house. Using the lost-wax process, the wax melts away and is replaced by the chosen metal, such as 925 sterling silver or gold.
