Carved by you, cast by us! Get creative by designing and carving your own pendant, and we will cast it using the Lost Wax casting method.


Lost Wax casting is a traditional jewellery making technique which has been around for centuries. In simple terms, it's a process where a plaster cast is made of your wax, the wax is melted out leaving a void which is filled with molten metal. Once cooled the plaster is chipped away and the raw metal version of your wax is revealed! We'll then clean it up, polish it, add a chain loop and send it back to you on the chain length of your choice!


It's simple to do and you'll be able to wear and show-off your creative talents to friends and family for years to come!

How do I care for the made product?


Silver is fairly durable, but silver may tarnish over time. Moisture in the air, natural oils in the skin, perfume and other chemicals such as chlorine and salt can accelerate tarnishing, so we'd recommend taking care when applying perfume and creams, and avoid wearing it in the swimming pool or sea.


You can use silver dip or silver polishing cloth to remove tarnish and return the shine.


We also recommend keeping it in its original box when not worn to protect it from moisture in the air and scratching of the surface.


Our gold plating is a hard gold plating which is very durable, and will last a long time before wearing off. However it is dependant on how often it is worn - a pendant worn every day will fade in colour sooner than one worn less regularly. We'd also recommend removing it for bathing for longevity.
