One of my favorite methods for an extremely satisfying product is lost-wax casting. Here I have carved two rings out of the green wax (which is harder), and in red I have sprues which are pathways for the hot metal to reach the ring mold.
These two pieces came out successfully (as I will show in the next post). It is important to do the weight conversion correctly so that you use the correct amount of sterling silver for the casting.
When casting you will always use more sterling than is required because you must put the ring on a "stand" (sprues and a button).
