What is Lost Wax Technique?
The lost wax technique is an ancient process used to create jewellery. You start by carving your design in wax. Then this wax model is covered in a mold, melted out and replaced with molten metal. Once cooled, the mold is removed to reveal the final detailed piece.
In our days, we use this method when we need make many replicants of one design. In this way we save a lot of time and money.
