Do you want to Become a Jeweler and Create your Own<\/strong> Rings, Pendants, Earrings and Bracelets?<\/p>\n

Then you’ll need to Learn Wax Carving!<\/h2>\n

\nWax Carving is how ALL Custom Designed Pieces<\/strong> are made. They all Begin with a Simple Block of Wax, and are Molded and Carved into all the Pieces you see in Jewelry Stores Today.<\/p>\n

\nWe do a Ton of Custom Designing in the Shop, making One-of-a-Kind Pieces that People Love and Cherish. <\/p>\n

We generally Start out with a Rough Drawing or Sketch<\/strong> of the item the Customer Wants, then the Wax Carver (Yes we have Someone who does nothing but Carve Waxes) Creates the item out of Wax. <\/p>\n

They Bring the Design to Life! <\/h2>\n

\nTake a Peek at some Examples of Wax Carvings and the Finished Products below…<\/p>\n

\"Custom<\/p>\n

\nOnce these Pieces have been Carved, Refined, and Approved by the Client<\/strong>, they get Set on a Spru and Cast in a Solution (like Plaster of Paris<\/strong>) that Keeps the Shape of the Carved Wax after the Wax has been Burnt out and Melted.<\/p>\n

\nOnce the Wax is Dissolved, it Leaves Behind a Hollow Void in the Shape of the Design. All that’s left is to Melt the Metal of your Choice (Gold, Silver, Platinum<\/strong>) and Pour it into the Mold to make your Piece.<\/p>\n
