Seraphinite and rhodochrosite cabochons set in sterling
silver settings made using the lost wax process.
In 2003, my husband, Phil, extended his hobby of Lapidary (the art of polishing semi-precious stones) to include the art of Lost Wax Casting. While the equipment used in this medium is quite modern, the basic technique has been in use for thousands of years. Please note that the process described on these pages is the Vacuum Type process. Use the links above to view the different steps of this process.
Pictured above is the equipment used in the Vacuum process.
Equipment and materials can be purchased from Gesswein.
