All of our silver castings are made using the lost wax casting process. Here are our steps for casting:

•  Carve out our design from hard wax.
• Make a mold.
• Shoot injection wax into our mold.
• Sprue the injection wax.
• Attach the sprues to a wax tree which is attached to a flask base.
• Invest.
• Melt out our wax from the investment. This leaves an impression of the wax design that used to be there in our investment. 
• Burn out in an oven. This is done over the course of several hours and goes up to 1350°.
• Melt our silver.
• Cast the designs using a vacuum casting machine. 

After our items are cast, we then pickle, clip the sprues from our cast tree and lightly tumble all of our pieces.
