Lost Wax Casting
 The process begins with a piece of jeweler's wax |
 The wax is hand carved into the desired shape. |
 The ring is placed on a rubber base. |
 A metal flask is placed over the ring and into the base. Chrystobolite is poured around the ring. |
 The flask is put in an oven where the wax ring is burned out. (Lost Wax) |
 The silver is heated to a molten state. |
 The silver is poured into where the wax was. |
 Molten silver is being poured. |
 The vacuum draws bubbles and voids out of the silver. |
 The flask is cooled. |
 The chrystobolite is broken away from the ring. |
 The stone is set – the ring is cleaned and polished. |
