This brilliant artisan will tell you all his secrets of his craft to achieve such beautiful golden jewellery.
In the beginning, the items are sculpted in wax with a thin spatula and jewellery knives. Once the wax moulds are completed, they are then fixed to the end of thin tubes forming a small tree. This small tree, ornamented with wax pieces, fits into a cone that is attached to the base of a cylinder. This cylinder is then filled with a special jeweller's plaster. Once dried, you are left with a wax imprint. You must then heat the plaster to melt the wax, leaving a place for the metal to fuse, and take the shape of plaster moulds. This operation is realized with the help of a centerfuge, by melting the gold with a torch in a smelter and injected it into the tree. The centerfuge forces then the liquid metal to reach the bottom of the plaster moulds and the tubes of the tree. After several turns in the centerfuge, you just need to break the plaster to collect the scupted pieces and detach them from the tree.
