[Service] Casting Companies?

Jewelry Discussion
1

I am looking for a good casting company for my silver and gold
pieces. They must be hard to find, as this will be my third search.
The first company made the silver so porous it looked like swiss
cheese. The last company I used changed their finishing process to a
more aggressive type and wore away so much detail on my last batch I
had to send them back to be recast. They also recently incorporated a
new higher minimum order that makes it very difficult for me to have
small orders cast.

Does anyone know of a good reliable small order jewelry caster in the
USA? I’d prefer the eastern half due to shipping costs, but at this
point I’ll consider anywhere in America.

Christen,

Have you yet dealt with Daniel Grandi at Racecar Jewelry? He is the
caster of choice of many Orchid members. Satisfaction of his work is
a frequent topic here on line.

Christen,

Try Hoover & Strong.com They even have approximate calaulation on
their website. which I find very useful. They also do silver casting
as well. They have lots of goodies for us bench jewelers. I also use
them for refining. I always get back the amount of pure that I think
I will. Ask them for their catalogs and they just started selling
loose diamonds.

Good luck! Amy

I would highly recommend Metalshop Casting in Rochester, NY
1-585-454-3330 http://www.mscasting.com The company was sold last
year, but the new owner, Chris, has worked out a lot of the problems
and now has things going very nicely.
