By Sophia L. Vanderbilt


When you are a celebrity, getting the stock pieces of jewelry sold for everyone may not work for you. There is a need to stand out, and nothing creates this uniqueness better than acquiring a few pieces of custom made ornaments. In case you have been wondering how to get unique pieces that will not lead to headlines such as who wore it better, it is time to invest in a celebrity bespoke jewelry designer. Here is what you need to know about these experts and the process they follow in making the designs.

The jeweler first designs the piece. The design process will be done according to your specifications. When you visit the expert, they will ask you what you have in mind. You get to sit down with them and describe what you have in mind. They will draw the design. Other specifications you will make include the precious metals to be used in the process, and the value in karats. Once you agree on design, you will discuss the cost and the process will begin.

Carving the piece of metal using wax is the next step. To accomplish this, the jeweler takes a piece of the wax, normally bigger than the finished product, and carves out the design that they created on paper. This process is carried out using carving tools.

Wax is used because it is easy to mold and rectify if need be. The experts also prefer wax because once a certain piece is finished; they will just melt it and store it waiting for remodeling for the making of other pieces in future. Wax is the most low-cost and reusable jeweling option.

After the creation of the mold, sprue pieces of wax that are also created using wax are added to the original design. These are tiny pathways that the molten precious metal uses to get into the molded design and for trapped air to escape. The experts will also make use of a torch or lighter whenever the mold needs softening for the piece to be created with ease.

Pouring the molten precious metal into the design and allowing it to set. Once it has set, the wax is removed and the piece of jewelry left is the last step. In case you need a name engraved, they will also do it for you at this stage.

The advantages that come from this custom jewelry creation process are countless. To start with, you get pieces that are 100 percent unique and made according to your specifications as the customer. Second, the process assures you of accuracy because the jeweler will make exactly what you sit down and design together. Third, you get a say on how much the piece will cost.

These are important things to understand about wax casting as a method of making custom jewelry. If you want excellent results, you have to take time in selecting the most qualified expert on the process. With the help of a competent craftsman, you will have the unique and enviable pieces.
