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.
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.
The founder of Jewelry Arts Inc, Robert Kulicke, was fascinated by granulation and other ancient arts like Byzantine enameling and was determined to learn the processes. Starting in the late 1950s.
He experimented and drew other like-minded individuals to work together in his home studio. It took Bob and his partner Jean Stark 23 years to understand and be able to teach granulation. Teaching was something Bob was particularly passionate about.
