Stones Cast In Place Workshop With Alexandra Gouveia

Forget about setting your stones in castings, cast the stones in place instead! We will carve a ring from wax and you’ll learn how to carefully heat your stones to create the setting in your wax model to be cast in place. This is an especially great technique for those small stones that are so finicky to flush set.

Only stones that can withstand high heat can be used, like diamonds, rubies, and sapphires. Don’t worry-we can use lab created gems for your project to take the pressure off. This is also an amazing technique to achieve less traditional, more organic designs. You will leave with your wax model and stones in place, ready to be cast.
