Lost Wax Casting: The Art of Creating Jewelry with Precision and Detail

Lost wax casting is the process of creating objects, such as casting jewelry, from simple to complex, in a variety of metals like bronze, brass, silver, 925 sterling silver, or gold, by casting an original model or pattern. Lost wax casting is perhaps one of the oldest known metal-forming techniques. Dating back to about 6,000 years, it is still a widely used technique employed in the production of jewelry, and in fields such as dentistry and art. The industrial form of lost wax casting, which is also known as investment casting, is a common way in case you want to create metal parts with precision, which is required a lot in fields such as manufacturing and engineering. Although casting jewelry made through the process of lost wax casting has been traditionally associated with artisanal handcraft, creators of the 21st century can now transform the lost wax casting process with 3D printing and digital design.
