Daphne, remind me - what is Wax Carving again, and why is it different from Wax Build Up?

Good question, Wax Carving and Wax Build Up are two different techniques that you can use to shape and design wax to create jewelry. Once the wax piece is shaped to your liking it can be cast in silver or gold, using the Lost Wax Casting  process.

Wax Carving is the technique that is similar to Michaelangelo carving his sculptures from a solid block of marble. The design is hidden within the block of wax.

For this technique we use carving tools and files to shape the wax and reveal the design. We can add endless textures to our design, making it super versatile.


Wax Build Up is the technique that uses heath and molten wax to build up your design from scratch. It is intuitive and a great way to start dipping your toes in making jewelry using wax.

It is also a solid base for making pieces that include precious stones.
