What jewelry stones can be wax setting ?
The stones most commonly set in wax setting are diamond, sapphire, ruby, and garnet. (Ruby and sapphire are second only to diamond in hardness.) Cubic zirconia and laboratory grown colored stones can also be used.
Gemstones should be flawless and of high quality, since those with inclusions tend to become milky or frosty during High temperature casting process.
There are many stones that can be wax setting , but success is determined by Mold, master setting skill and the care taken in investment removal and in monitoring temperature controls during casting.
What types of jewelry settings can be used for wax setting ?
Numerous types of jewelry settings can be used for wax setting . In flush mountings, prong settings, or bead settings ,channel settings , the model is made so that the setting’s dimensions are fractionally smaller than the stone’s girdle diameter. The modelmaker must also calculate the shrinkage factor. If the setting dimensions are not correct the stone may be lost or dislodged during casting.
Gemstones are often set by gently pressing a heated wax pen tip on the top of the stone. The gemstone is heated and slips easily into the setting. The process works great for most jewelry settings.
How do you keep gemstones from falling out of place once the waxes have been burnt out?
If the stone is not secure in its seat, the stone will move during casting and become embedded in another area of the jewelry item . To keep stones in place, stones should be exposed at both the top and the bottom. Remember, the wax areas will be replaced by metal, while all the areas exposed to you will be filled with investment. When the wax is burnt out, the gemstones are held securely in place by the investment.
