Our Casting Service: 5 Things you need to know

We are very proud to have broadened our casting services - we now offer stone-in-place and own metal casting. Both have been highly sought after options and are not widely available in the UK. Our aim is to always be able to offer you an alternative to large manufacturers, for those who want a more personalised, boutique service with ethics and traceability at its core.

Cast diamonds or gemstones in your wax masters

Although it can be a tricky process we have spent a long time perfecting the process of casting stones in place in your wax masters. This is the perfect option for designers who prefer an organic or one off approach to their product. Stones can crack, break, or disappear if they are too fragile or have existing inclusions. Please ensure you do not use gemstones which are likely to crack under heat (less than 8.5 Mohs scale) to avoid issues during the casting process.

Cast with your clients own heirloom gold

If you have been wondering "which companies offer own gold casting services in the UK?" look no further. We know there is a huge demand from consumers to reuse and repurpose their own family or heirloom gold to make new bespoke commissions. We are proud to be able to offer this service to our customers. The gold pieces provided must be Hallmarked and of the same carat.

Accurate and reliable 3D printing

Alongside standard wax, we predominently use a high wax resin and photopolymer material developed specifically for investment casting. While technically demanding, the high wax content of EasyCast allows for clean burnout and predictable results. This reduces build lines and supports detailed designs and reduces any casting defects, making cleaning up quicker and more efficient.

Mould making and storage

We can talk you through the process, discussing your options with you clearly, with a particular focus on consistency and longevity. We work with both vulcanised and silicone moulds and help you select the most appropriate option based on the design, level of detail, and intended use. Making moulds from masters supports designers looking to move from one off pieces into batch production runs, and we offer guidance around limitations and next steps.

Get support with the design precess

We offer a full design service. We can work with you on your design process, creating CAD files, renders and 3D prints. If you are not sure how to bring an idea to life we are here to help. Think of us more as your production partners than just another casting house.

As our business and customer list grows our ability to respond to your requests increases too. Check out our FAQ's is you have questions or get in touch if there are aspects of casting production that you need support with. We are not just a jewellery manufacturer, we are your production partner.
