About Precious Metal Casting
Precious metal casting is a jewellery manufacturing process whereby molten metal is poured into a plaster mould to produce jewellery components.
Our experienced casting team start the casting process by manually attaching waxes to a central sprue to form a structure called a wax 'tree'. Each tree is then placed inside a casting flask which is filled with a specialist plaster mix called investment. The flasks then go into a kiln to burn out the wax, resulting in a cavity for the metal to be poured into. We then remove the investment material to reveal the cast tree inside, which is thoroughly cleaned before the individual components are carefully cut from the central sprue.
Precious metal casting allows for the creation of intricate and detailed designs while maintaining a high level of precision and consistency across designs.

Turnaround Times
We aim to fulfil all casting orders in as short a time frame as possible while maintaining our high standards of quality. Turnaround times are dependent on the day of the week an order is placed on in relation to the subsequent day we cast each specific metal alloy.
Please Note: If an item fails quality control, we will deem it as unsuitable and endeavour to re-cast it as soon as possible. Due to the nature of casting, sometimes items may fail due to variables outside of our control, in which case time frames may be longer.
