DESIGNER LIZ WATSON USES
THE ANCIENT ART OF LOST-WAX CASTING
FIRST
Liz carefully carves the design out of a piece of hard jeweler’s wax.
SECOND
Silicone is used to make a mold of the wax design.
THIRD
Bronze metal is poured into the silicon mold. The bronze is then cooled, filed, and shined to a finish.
FOURTH
A very thick plating (3 times the typical average) of either 14K gold or fine silver is applied to the bronze.
LAST
The final touches are applied to pieces in our Cape Charles studio.
