Hello! I am looking to expand my production this year, and am in the
market for a casting company, but please, A GOOD ONE! I’ve had poor
experienceswith 2 companies already, and am wary of trying any one
of the many that Ifind out there without a reference, so… any
recommendations? I am looking to cast in silver, gold, and bronze.
Thank you in advance- I really appreciate the
point-in-the-right-direction! Warmly, Nisa

Hello Nisa,

I’ll recommend Racecare Jewelry. Dan Grandi is very helpful if you
have technical questions. Website http://www.racecarjewelry.com/

Judy in Kansas, where it promises to be a lovely day. Maybe the
remaining snow piles will finally melt.

I’d call and do a phone interview first. Try Racecar Jewelry - Dan

  1. What’s your turn-around time? What is the time-frame for the
    project (based on # of pieces, etc) 2. Do you require a deposit to
    begin a project? 3. Who will be my contact person for the company?4.
    Can you provide photographs of finished castings for approval? 5. Do
    you have a price list?

I’ve had disappointed customers report on “other” casting companies,
not to be named.

I use Robert Snell Casting in Grass Valley CA for my casting that I
don’t do myself. Have worked with Robert for more than 25 satisfied
years.

Hope this helps

It would be helpful if you could give some idea as to type of
castings required. A caster doing a great job with bronze statues is
rarely the best choice to cast an Art Nouveau style 18K gold pendant.
Or vice-versa.
