What is lost wax casting?
An ancient art form dating back over 6,000 years, the lost wax method has been used by civilizations from the Egyptians to the Greeks to create jewellery of unmatched detail and beauty. It’s a process steeped in patience and precision — a technique that transforms imagination into heirloom. Each piece begins as a wax sculpture, unique and intentional, before being cast in precious metal, capturing every intricate texture forever. This method isn’t just a way to make jewellery — it’s a testament to craftsmanship that bridges history, art, and alchemy.
