#wax casting

[letmeinimafairy]

I. Made. Metal. Things!!!!!

A satyr's statue from Piranesi, four bronze medallions. I'm planning on making sea glass and pearls necklaces for those, and maybe make smaller versions to add as pendants for bigger necklaces with carved shells and paintings.

Damn! I dreamed about becoming a jeweler for about ten years and thought it was a hopeless dream - I can't afford education and tools, don't have a place for a workshop and come on, I'm useless. Ha! I learned carving, little by little bought tools and equipment, my stepdad helped me set up a workbench, and here comes wax casting.

These four are available, and I can make more.

Montana Sapphire Sapphire and Diamonds 925 Sterling / 18k yellow gold

This is our newest finished creation out of the shop. The client came to me with a vague concept for a ‘water inspired’ engagement ring. We worked together to come up with this design. I then Handcarved the wax model, cast the design in sterling silver, and fused 18k yellow gold behind the waves. I then had Waylon Rhoads set the beautiful Montana Sapphire centerstone, as well as the 8 additional sapphire and diamond accents. This collaborative effort has blossumed into something amazing, and I am proud to present our awesome creation. We love bringing new ideas to life, so contact @waylonrhoadsjewelry or I to set up a custom order of your own.
