Casting jewelry is a process called centrifugal jewelry casting, beginning with a wax pattern, which is placed inside plaster, melted out of the mold to form a cavity and then the mold is filled with the gold to form a piece of jewelry. See the jewelry casting process with a demonstration from a bench jeweler and gemologist in this free video on jewelry.

@colton12344321 been doing this for 16 years but its been in my family for 120 years and their are much muchhhh more easyer ways to doing a ring, what hes doing their is called the lost wax casting, but you can do the same thing in around 60 secounds, but its just the fileing and buffing that can take some time.
But your learn loads along the way its just when you start getting better thats when you start buying the realy good stuff that you need and thats not cheap some times
i just starting doing this in my jewelery class at school, i think it is one of the coolest things. just being able to make a wearable piece of jewelery on my own is very interesting to me. since iv started the class i always look at jewelery and can figure out how to make it when i go shopping with my wife.
this is my new hobbby but whats the ratio b/c i realy dont wanna wait gold lol
Thank you for this…. it is good to have a FAST OVER VIEW of this process for those who do not understand all the hard hand work that goes into each image.
could you use this method to make a spinner ring? if not, how would you make one?
excellent video!!!
@zdanz25 with gold being around $1200 an ounce, those filings are definitely worth saving.
all that sanding scrapes off gold, is there a way you capture all that and reuse it or is it so insignificant that its nt worth it?
beautiful video!
Love is not a matter of counting the years. It’s to make the years count.

@AndreTwin When you cast it all the impurities and crap will float to the TOP(sprue) of the casting, thats why u always need to use alot more metal for casting then is necesary to fill the wax-model hole. Without a sprue your casted ring or w/e will indeed be prone…
The Jewelry company I worked at re-used gold 3 times max, but everytime they added some ”new” gold/alloy to the scrap, for the right result.
