Description All kind of pendants, one ring and dagger pommel what i have made of bronze by using the vacuum casting method. It means that I first had to carve a wax version of the jewelry model, and then use the "wax model" to form some kind of plaster cast around it. Then cast is heated, and the wax melt of. The purpose of the plaster cast was to use it for casting final jewelry pieces in bronze or silver etc.

I don't have vacuum casting tools in my home workshop and i make all of those when I was studying for my blacksmith/artisan diploma in the College of Crafts and Design (1999-2001)

I don't make bronze pendants for sale in nowadays.

Those are old school works from ten years ago and i don't have that kind of vacuum casting machine in my home workshop.
