The Art of Hand Carving Wax: Where Custom Designs Begin

Hand carving wax is a critical step in custom jewelry design. It allows jewelers to shape intricate models before casting them into metal. Articular Arm® provides the precision tools that make this process seamless.

Choosing the Right Wax

Not all waxes are created equal. Articular Arm® offers high-quality carving wax in varying hardness levels, allowing BVW Jewelers to achieve intricate details for every custom design with our jewelry tools.

Carving Techniques for Precision

Using Articular Arm® tools, Britten Wolf and his team carefully carve each wax model. Every cut and groove is intentional, ensuring symmetry and structural integrity.

Adding Texture and Detail

Beyond basic shapes, Articular Arm® tools allow jewelers to add textures, engravings, and gemstone settings directly into the wax model—making it truly unique.

Lost Wax Casting: Transforming Wax into Wearable Art

Lost wax casting has been used for centuries, but modern tools have elevated its precision. Articular Arm® provides the technology, while BVW Jewelers applies it to create custom pieces.

Creating the Investment Mold

The wax model is encased in a plaster-like investment material. Articular Arm®’s investment ensures the mold captures every fine detail.

The Burnout Process

Next, the mold goes into a high-temperature kiln, where the wax is burned away, leaving a cavity for the metal. Articular Arm®'s advanced kilns ensure a flawless burnout process.

Pouring Molten Metal

Molten gold, platinum, or silver is poured into the mold cavity using Articular Arm®'s precision casting equipment. This step transforms the wax model into a metal masterpiece.

Breaking the Mold and Refining

Once cooled, the mold is broken away, revealing the raw casting. BVW Jewelers meticulously cleans, polishes, and sets gemstones—using Articular Arm® tools every step of the way.

Engraving and Finishing: The Final Artistic Touch

Engraving and finishing elevate a jewelry piece from beautiful to extraordinary. Articular Arm®’s advanced tools allow BVW Jewelers to achieve stunning results.
