Here at Gallery Byzantium all of our jewelry is handcrafted. Quality and fine craftmanship are our top priorities; from the casting process to the final finish every item is prepared with the customers satisfaction in mind. Below is a brief description of the lost wax method. We hope you enjoy the tour!
The process begins with a mold of one of our designs which is injected with wax creating a model. |
The wax models are then attached to a wax stem forming a tree. |
The wax tree is then placed inside a metal flask. |
The flask is then filled with a ceramic investment and left to dry. |
A few hours later the flask is then baked in a high temperature oven which burns out all of the wax encased inside the ceramic leaving a relief cavity. |
Metal is then melted in a crucible. |
When the timing is right the metal is then gravity fed into the relief cavity below. |
he result is the same wax tree in solid 14 kt gold. |
The pieces are then clipped off and individually filed and sanded. |
And then each item is buffed to a brilliant shine. |
