After last Monday's Bank Holiday, Metal Mondays are back!

This week we are talking about bronze. Our premium casting bronze comes from Legor, an Italian manufacturer renowned for producing high-quality jewellery casting alloys.

This particular bronze is a copper-tin bronze (90% copper, 10% tin) with a distinctive warm pink-red tone. It's one of our go to alloys for lost wax casting thanks to its excellent fluidity, allowing it to fill intricate details with ease to produce clean, consistent castings.

It's a reliable bronze alloy that combines beautiful colour with strong performance, producing pieces with great finishing potential.

It’s that time again!

This week we’re taking a closer look at brass, a versatile alloy widely used in casting for its strength, warm colour and excellent casting performance.

The brass we use is a high-quality casting grain developed specifically for lost wax casting. Its formulation gives it consistent fluidity when molten, it also offers a higher hardness than traditional brass alloys, helping produce durable pieces.

One of the reasons we like working with this brass is its low processing temperature and clean casting behaviour. The alloy contains a high level of deoxidisers, helping reduce oxidation during casting and resulting in cleaner trees and brighter finished pieces.

Brass has long been valued in casting for its balance of strength and workability, and it continues to be one of the most versatile metals we work with.

Introducing Metal Mondays 🩶

We’re excited to kick off a new series where we take a closer look at the metals behind our castings- starting with sterling silver.

The silver we use is a 100% recycled .925 sterling silver casting grain, chosen for its consistency, fluidity and ability to capture fine detail during casting. When molten, silver flows very well through the mould, helping produce clean, high-quality castings with sharp detail and smooth surfaces.

Pictured here are silver sprues after the cast pieces have been removed. While they may look like waste, they’re actually an important part of the process. After casting, the sprues are cleaned and re-grained in order to be melted down and reused in the next cast ♻️

Lost wax casting is a process built on precision, temperature and material knowledge, and understanding how each metal behaves is a huge part of achieving successful results. We’re excited to share more of the process as this series continues!

West 1 🤝🏼 Schultheiss

A love story, going strong since 2024 ❤️

Gold grain is poured into the machine and heated until molten. Once ready the metal is released into the flask filling every detail, before being left to cool.

A process we trust, and a partnership we are keeping!
