casting steps





First step is tomake the wax modles. Here I have the silver bezel cups already made so I can place them and build the wax ring around the stone







This is the rough casting still attached to the spru and button. The spru is the feeder gate for the liquid metal to flow to the design. The button is extra metal to allow for shrinkage as the hot metal cools and contracts. You can see 2 gold casting here also one in yellow and one in rose.
