After the sketch is approved, a wax mold of your custom jewelry is created. A skilled artisan/jeweler hand carves a jewelry prototype out of jewelers wax using small scalpels and knives. The wax prototype also known as a "model" is placed in a flask, and plaster, called "investment" is poured all around the model. Once the investment hardens an exact impression of the model is formed inside of the flask. The wax model is burned out of the flask leaving a cavity of the jewelry design.
