How to Start a Jewellery Business in 2025 Using Lost Wax Casting

Starting a jewellery business in 2025 offers exciting opportunities, especially with the resurgence of traditional techniques like lost wax casting. This age-old method allows artisans to create intricate designs with precision, making it a favorite among contemporary jewellers.

Understanding Lost Wax Casting

Lost wax casting, also known as investment casting, involves creating a wax model of the desired piece, encasing it in a refractory material to form a mold, and then melting away the wax to leave a cavity. Molten metal is then poured into this cavity to form the final piece. This technique is renowned for its ability to capture fine details, making it ideal for crafting unique jewellery items . 

Essential Equipment for Beginners

Embarking on lost wax casting requires some fundamental tools:

• Wax Carving Tools: For shaping your initial designs.

• Investment Materials: To create the mold around your wax model.

• Kiln: For burning out the wax and curing the mold.

• Crucible and Torch: To melt and pour your chosen metal.

• Casting Machine: To ensure the molten metal fills the mold accurately.
