We cast the piece by covering it in a liquid ceramic plaster. Once this plaster dries and hardens, it forms a solid shell around the wax. The shell is placed in a high-heat oven, which melts all the wax so it drains out. This leaves a perfectly detailed, hollow cavity on the inside of the hard shell. Molten liquid silver is then poured into the cast to create an exact replica of your wax ring, but in silver!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; font-weight: 600; margin: 24px 0px 12px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(10, 10, 10);' data-sae=\"\" data-processed=\"true\" data-complete=\"true\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-animation-nesting=\"\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"3\" class=\"otQkpb\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; font-weight: 600; margin: 24px 0px 12px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(10, 10, 10);' data-sae=\"\" data-processed=\"true\" data-complete=\"true\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-animation-nesting=\"\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"3\" class=\"otQkpb\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eLastly, we clean up the piece in our workshop by sanding and polishing to give it a mirror shine!
