| The Waxing Process |
| Each Piece is One of kind as you can see and made one at a time. |
| I start with making the base for the stone (if there is one in the design). |
| It is melted from the underneath to keep the design unblemished. |
| The shank is then attached to the stone base using a hot wax pen to melt it together. |
| In this case I'm making a ring so I make the ring shank to go with the stone base. |
| When the ring is finished a larger piece of wax is attached to the bottom of the ring. |
| Then it is attached to the Rubber Base to get ready for investing and casting. |
| Final wax design. The bezel is made after the ring is cast and then soldered onto the ring. |
| More beads added to enhance the design. |
| Again they are melted from underneath to keep the design intact. |
| Little beads are rolled with little pieces of wax and added to the design. |
