Hello, have you ever heard about lost wax? This captivating process has been utilized for an exceedingly long-time, even for hundreds of years to make gorgeous pieces of art and jewelry. Jiayun is one company that still relies on this ancient technique. They create unique and intricate jewelry that you will not see elsewhere. Join us as we take a closer look at the lost wax technique and the way it helps preserve history while celebrating imagination and creativity. 

The lost wax process is one of the oldest techniques which come from the ancients. This was a technique that people would use to make grand bronze statues. It wasn’t easy to do; it was very time-consuming and took a lot of skill and patience. Initially the artist would mold a wax model of the sculpture. The wax model was crucial because it would give an indication of the final piece. The artist then molded the wax model with a special mixture of clay and other materials. This would serve as a template for the finished Valve stem product. Then, the mold would be HOT, and all of the wax would out, leaving a shell of your sculpture.  

The Fascinating Process of Lost Wax Casting

The process of Jiayun lost wax casting is still used by artists today to shape all kinds of intricate and beautiful artworks and jewelry. It begins with the artist creating a wax model of the intended work. This model is extremely significant and is the first step in the process. When the model has set, the artist coats it in a combination of clay and other materials, forming a hardened mold encasing the wax. The wax is then melted away from the inside leaving behind a shaped cavity in the mold. This hollow is where the artist will cast the metal. After the wax melts, hot molten metal is poured into the mold, filling the gap that was made by the melted wax. Above these two, the molten metal cures and solidifies, and finally the mold is removed to extract the final work of art or jewel. All this and more proves how artists can transform a simple piece of wax model into anything beautiful and memorable.
