Lost Wax Process In Gemstone Jewelry Manufacturing
A model of the desired product is created first. The model would be cut from wax and moved directly to the next stage if it was intended for a single-use casting. When creating Gemstone Jewelry designs that include set gemstones, the desired stone is frequently set straight into the wax blank and the setting is carved into shape around it before being removed to achieve a tight fit in the final jewelry item. For mass production, the original model may be carved from wax or another rigid but pliable material, like clay, before being turned into a mould to produce numerous wax copies.
