Custom jewelry manufacturing is a highlight at Bell's. With the process of “lost wax” casting, custom design jewelry is made in the store with the customer's old gold. This unique service saves the customers' money and rewards them with a “one of a kind” piece.
Waxing
Investing
Second stage - called investing - has to set 24 hours - we will do a 5 hour burn out period (1st hour at 300 degrees, 2nd hour at 700 degrees, 3rd & 4th hours at 1300 degrees, 5th hour at 1000 degrees. Then we pour the molten gold into the vestment.
After the 5 hour burn out process, it is removed from vestment and now will go to tumbler.
Clean Up and Finish
Out of tumbler, been to bench for clean up and pre-polish. Next step will be setting the stones and final finish.
