Good day. I’m looking for a way to make very accurate bezel
settings for fancy (oval, emerald, pear) faceted stones in wax. I
plan to make a unique model for each stone. My question is: is there
a way to cast a perfect setting for a specific stone which requires
little or no grinding, bur cutting, or other tedious carving? This
might sound naive, but I enjoy wax carving much more than trying to
fit a stone into a rough casting. for example, do I have to worry
about some sort of shrinkage, like I would get if I make a mold? Has
anyone ever used that ‘Hot Seats’ wax carving tips that rio grande
sells?
Thanks,
Tato
