About Investment Casting / How These Statues Are Made. Investment casting, often hailed as “lost-wax casting, ” is a time-honored technique that breathes life into precious metals, transforming them into intricate, awe-inspiring masterpieces. The secret lies in the use of. 999+ fine silver, a material cherished for its captivating luster and superior value. This precious silver is carefully melted and guided into the mold using a vacuum, an ingenious process that ensures even the most complex details are perfectly captured, resulting in a piece that truly mirrors the original design. But the journey to perfection begins much earlier. Models are crafted using state-of-the-art 3D printing technology, a revolutionary departure from the conventional hand-carving of wax models. Casting resin, celebrated for its unrivaled ability to encapsulate fine detail, is the chosen medium. This material burns out cleanly during the casting process, ensuring the final piece is nothing short of spectacular. Then comes the burnout process, an intricate dance of heat and time spanning approximately 12 hours. Throughout this period, the resin model encased within the investment mold is gently heated until it vaporizes, leaving a perfect imprint of the original design in the hardened mold. This meticulous process is instrumental in achieving the pinnacle of detail and accuracy in the final cast. Upon casting and cooling, each statue is treated to a detailed finishing process. Antique polishing techniques are employed to bestow upon the statues a classic, ageless aesthetic that enhances the intricate details of each piece. The result is a magnificent interplay of light and shadow, where the brilliance of the silver contrasts beautifully with the darkened recesses, enhancing the three-dimensional effect of the design. In a final, crucial step, each silver statue is marked with a unique identity.

The same information graces a matching metal certificate of authenticity (COA).

Investment casting is a remarkable blend of cutting-edge technology and rich artisanal tradition, resulting in silver statues that are nothing less than breathtaking. The process delivers more than just visually stunning pieces – it guarantees heirlooms of exceptional quality and undeniable value.
