I will cast custom jewelry in silver and brass from your 3D model

I turn your 3D model into a real, wearable piece of jewelry cast in solid silver or brass, hand-finished, and mailed to your door ready to wear.

If you have designed a ring, pendant, charm, or small sculptural object and you want it to exist as a physical metal object, I cast it for you using the lost-wax (investment) casting process. You send a printable 3D file, I print a high-resolution castable wax/resin master, invest and burn it out, pour molten metal, then cut, file, sand, and polish the result into a finished piece. You receive the actual cast object in the mail, not a render and not a file.

What you get

• A physical jewelry piece cast in 925 sterling silver or brass (jeweler's bronze/red brass on request) from your supplied 3D model
• A high-resolution castable master printed from your file before casting (so surface detail and crisp edges carry through to metal)
• Hand finishing: sprue removal, cleanup of the casting, filing, sanding through grits, and a polish level you choose (matte/satin, brushed, or high mirror polish)
• Basic dimensional fidelity to your model, accounting for the small, predictable shrinkage of the casting process
• Clear weigh-in: I tell you the finished metal weight of your piece in grams
• Photos of the finished piece before it ships
• Secure, padded shipping with tracking; the item is mailed as a physical product
• Honest pre-flight review of your file: if something will not cast well (thin walls, trapped cavities, unsupported wire-thin spans), I tell you before I print or pour

Plans

Plan	What's included
Basic	One small piece (e.g. a charm, simple pendant, or band up to a modest size) cast in brass or silver, sprues removed, cleaned and tumbled to a satin finish, one finished photo
Standard	One piece up to a medium size in silver or brass, full hand finishing to your chosen polish (matte, brushed, or mirror), file prep review, multiple photos, careful tracked shipping
Premium	One detailed or larger piece (or a small matched set such as a ring + pendant), high-polish or custom finish, light stone-setting prep (seats/bezels left ready for a stone), extra QA pass, priority handling, and packaged for gifting

Exact size limits, set counts, and finish options for your specific design are confirmed in our first message exchange. No pricing is listed here; message me with your file and I'll scope it precisely.

How it works

1. Send your file. Share your 3D model (STL preferred; OBJ, 3MF, or STEP also fine). Tell me the metal (silver or brass), the finish you want, and the intended size if it's a ring or worn piece.
2. File review. I check wall thickness, minimum feature size, drainage/venting, and overall castability. If I spot a problem, I send you specific notes and, where it's a quick fix, suggested adjustments.
3. Approve and print. Once the file is castable, I print a high-resolution wax/resin master and, for anything where fit matters, I can confirm key dimensions with you.
4. Invest and burn out. The master is sprued and surrounded in investment plaster, then kiln burnout removes the master, leaving a clean cavity.
5. Cast. Molten silver or brass is poured/centrifuged into the mold to capture your geometry.
6. Finish by hand. I cut away sprues, file, sand through progressive grits, and polish to your chosen level. Any setting seats are tidied if your plan includes them.
7. Photograph and ship. I send you photos, then package the piece securely and mail it with tracking.

Why choose this

Lost-wax casting is the same fundamental process used for fine jewelry, so your design comes out as solid metal with real heft, not a coated print. I work directly from your geometry, so what you modeled is what gets cast - I don't redesign your piece or substitute my own style. The finishing is done by hand, which is where a casting actually becomes jewelry: deburred, smoothed, and polished so it's pleasant to wear and true to your intent. And because I review your file before committing metal, you avoid the common and expensive surprise of a part that simply can't cast.

Who it's for / use cases

• Independent designers who model in CAD (Fusion, Rhino/MatrixGold, Blender, ZBrush) and need a physical proof or a small run of one
• Makers and 3D artists who can sculpt but don't have a foundry, kiln, or polishing setup
• Couples and gift-givers with a custom ring, signet, or pendant concept they've modeled or commissioned a model for
• Prototypers who want to hold a real metal sample before scaling production
• Hobbyists turning a meaningful shape - a pet's paw, a coordinate, a sigil, a game item - into something wearable
• Small brands validating a design in metal before a larger order

FAQ

Q: What 3D file formats do you accept? STL is ideal. I also accept OBJ, 3MF, and STEP. As long as the mesh is watertight (manifold) and to real-world scale, I can work with it.

Q: Can you fix my model if it isn't castable? I'll review it and flag issues like thin walls or trapped voids, and I can make light, agreed corrections. For substantial remodeling I'll point you to what needs changing so you can update and resend.

Q: How accurate is the final piece to my model? Casting reproduces your geometry faithfully but involves a small, predictable shrinkage from print to metal. Fine surface detail carries through well; I account for shrinkage on fit-critical dimensions like ring inner diameter.

Q: Silver or brass - which should I pick? Sterling silver is the classic precious-metal choice, bright and durable for everyday wear. Brass is a warm, gold-toned, budget-friendly option that polishes beautifully; note it can patina over time, which some people love and some don't.

Q: Can you set stones? My setting service is prep-level: I can leave clean bezels or seats ready for a stone on Premium. I don't supply or set gemstones as part of the cast itself - that's best done by you or a setter afterward.

Q: What sizes can you cast? Small to medium jewelry-scale pieces - rings, pendants, charms, earrings, small sculptural objects. Very large or very heavy items, or anything with deep trapped cavities, may not be feasible; send your file and I'll confirm.

Q: Will there be visible texture from 3D printing? Hand finishing removes print layer lines on accessible surfaces. Deeply recessed or enclosed areas a polishing tool can't reach may retain some texture - I'll tell you upfront where that applies to your design.

Q: How is it shipped and how is it protected? Your piece is mailed as a physical product, padded and boxed, with tracking. I photograph it before it leaves so you know exactly what's on its way.
