Process

Teardrop pendant


After the wax has been shaped into the desired form, heated on an open fire pit, the molten metal is poured into the plaster mold.


Wait a few until the metal solidifies.


Break the ceramic mold and clear off any residue with a soft metal bristle brush.


Here are a few pieces made. All we have to do is cut off the excess metal and finish each piece. 


Example of one of the finished pieces worked on. This is a pretty substantial Teardrop. After it's been sanded down and buffed, it's ready to wear! 

Necklace is modeled by Liz of Claflin & Thayer.
