Services
Lost wax casting: This is perfect for hand carved waxes or 3-D models that are printed in a “castable” wax or resin. I do not have minimums you can send me 1 wax model or a handful.
Production casting: Any design can be put into production. Maximums vary from project to project. Quantity will likely max out at ~100 units and I can not cast an object larger than 3.8inches in any dimension. 1 single casting weight maximum is 7 ounces .
Mold making: To create multiple copies of any design a silicone / rubber mold is required. I can create the silicone mold for any new designs. If your design has already been produced I can accept your mold use it to and replenish your stock.
Metals available: Brass, Yellow Bronze, Red Bronze, Silver, Yellow Gold, White Gold, Rose Gold, Green Gold in 10k, 14k, 18k.
Finishing services: After casting you can request “Clip only” for no additional fee. Castings will simply be cut from their sprues and tumbled from raw state before returning to you. If desired, I can polish your castings so when they are returned to you they are completely finished and ready for retail.
Soldering and Stone setting: I can solder small components on to your finished castings like jump-rings or bails. I can also provide stone setting services. I am proficient in pave, bezel, flush, prong, pave, bead & bright, and channel setting. I can source your gemstones or you can provide your own.
Patina or Antiquing: Patina or Antiquing can be added to darken low areas of you castings after finishing. Patina is a more traditional route, adding a dark grey tone to the low reliefs. Antiquing looks almost black to give a deeper more longer lasting blackening to the low reliefs of your casting.
