Experienced Jewelry Casting Experts

Experienced craftsmanship is an important part of the lost-wax casting process.
Our skilled jewelry manufacturing team understands the different stages of casting, including wax pattern development, mold preparation, metal casting, polishing, and finishing.
Each stage needs to be carefully controlled to ensure that the final jewelry piece maintains the desired shape, details, and surface quality.

Flexible Production for Bulk & Small Orders

Our custom jewelry casting factory supports both sample development and larger-scale production.
The production process can start with a prototype, allowing brands and designers to check the design, dimensions, structure, and finish before moving into bulk production.
This makes lost-wax casting a practical solution for both new jewelry collections and customized production projects.

Our Professional Custom Jewelry Casting Process

The lost-wax jewelry casting process is a traditional jewelry manufacturing technique that has been used for centuries. Today, modern technology has made the process more precise and efficient while maintaining its craftsmanship.
Each step is carefully controlled to create jewelry with accurate shapes and fine details.

Design & Prototype Development

The custom jewelry casting process begins with your design.
We can work with CAD files, 3D files, hand sketches, reference images, or existing samples. Based on the design, the jewelry structure is reviewed and prepared for the next stage of production.

Wax Model Creation

The next step is creating the wax model.
Using precision 3D printing or traditional hand carving, a wax pattern is created to replicate the final jewelry piece.
This wax pattern is an important part of the lost-wax casting process, because it determines the shape and details of the final metal jewelry.

Investment Casting (Lost-Wax Casting)

Once the wax model is ready, it is surrounded by a special investment material to create the casting mold.
After the investment material has hardened, the wax is heated and removed from the mold. This leaves a cavity in exactly the shape of the original wax model.
Molten metal is then poured into this cavity. After the metal cools and solidifies, the investment material is removed, revealing the basic jewelry piece.
This is why the process is called lost-wax casting — the original wax pattern is lost during the casting process and replaced by the final metal piece.

Polishing and Surface Finishing

After casting, the jewelry requires several additional finishing processes.
These may include:
  • Sprue removal
  • Grinding
  • Sanding
  • Polishing
  • Plating
  • PVD coating
  • Stone setting
  • Other surface treatments
The finishing process helps improve the appearance and surface quality of the cast jewelry while preparing it for the final production stage.

Quality Inspection and Control

Every custom jewelry casting product is carefully inspected for:
  • Structural integrity – checking for cracks, defects, or casting problems
  • Surface quality – checking the surface for scratches and imperfections
  • Dimensional accuracy – ensuring the piece matches the approved design
  • Finishing quality – checking polishing, plating, and other surface treatments
  • Overall appearance – ensuring the finished jewelry meets the approved sample
Strict quality control helps maintain consistency across different production batches.
