Techniques: 

LOST WAX CASTING:

The process of “lost wax” casting, an ancient technique discovered and devised by human ingenuity during the Bronze Age.

It is the creation of a first sculptural model in wax of the object to be made, then the created model will be sacrificed and “lost” in the foundry to shape the mould.

It is a fascinating, expensive and complex technique that, in return, gives the possibility of care and detail. Used in jewellery, this process allows to create particularly rich intertwined geometric shapes of a particular complexity. The use of this technique is fundamental in the treatment of metals, since the qualitative performance does not present defects or irregularities.
