Steps 1 Choose a model for casting. A model is a piece of jewelry that you
want to make a mold out of. You may use any piece of your own jewelry that you are interested in reproducing.
Remove the model, being very careful to keep the mold intact, as any imperfections in your mold will result in a flawed wax casting. Cut a shallow channel into each face of the mold, leading to the hollow chamber left by the model. The 2 channels should meet when the mold is closed together, creating a tunnel in which you will insert the syringe.
3 Inject the mold with melted wax. Use any type of crafter's wax that
you purchase from an arts and crafts supply store. There are many different types of wax, and they each have different melting points, so experiment with a variety to find one you like the most.Melt the wax in a double-boiler, referring to the package instructions for the appropriate melting temperature. Use a medication dosing syringe to inject the melted wax into the closed mold, inserting the syringe through the divot channel you created in the jewelry casting mold.
5Remove the wax model from the rubber mold. This will now be
your model for the lost-wax jewelry casting process. 6 Make a stand for the model. Cut a thin stick of hardened wax, just large enough to support the wax model, and attach it to the model with melted wax.
7 Secure the wax model stand to the bottom of a casting flask, using more melted wax. The model should be propped up in the flask. It is ready for the jewelry casting process.
8 Mix the dry ingredients of the gypsum plaster-based investment mold material with water, as per manufacturer's directions. 9 Pour the investment mold mixture into the flask, surrounding the model completely. 10 Allow the investment mold to set. 11 Place the entire flask in a kiln set to approximately 1100 degrees F (600 degrees C). This will harden the mold and melt the wax away, leaving a hollow chamber in the center of the cast jewelry mold. 12 Remove the mold from the flask. 13 Pour the casting.Place your metal of choice in a pouring crucible, then melt it inside a foundry. The melting temperature and time will be determined by the type of metal you are using. Pour liquid metal from the pouring crucible into the mold through the tunnel left by the melted wax support stick. 14 Allow the metal to cool. 15 Tap the mold gently with a hammer to break away the mold and reveal the jewelry casting. 16 Buff out any irregularities on the jewelry piece using a metal buffing wheel

Making process
Step 1 -Made with the m seal(shilpkar) master pice for casting Step 2-Than go for investment casting of the lockets . Step 3- time to clean them up! removing the sprues, grinding, filing, sanding, adding texture to camouflage where the sprue had been, adding a patina, and the final polish all await your piece!
