Good to know

Your kit questions, answered.

What can I make with this kit?

Rings, necklace pendants, cufflinks, charms — even a pet tag. Carve and shape the wax, and we'll cast it in solid sterling silver at our Denver, Colorado workshop as standard. Each casting voucher covers one piece, and you can use the tools again and again.

Is this a beading or craft jewelry kit?

No. There are no beads, wire or resin. You carve your design in specialist jewelers’ wax, mail it back, and we cast it in solid recycled silver by lost-wax casting, then hand-finish it. You get real precious-metal jewelry.

What do I get for $45, and for $159?

The $45 kit holds blue carving wax shapes, a carving blade, steel spade and spoon tools, a needle file, two sandpapers, a return tin, a prepaid return envelope and access to The Makers Table. You pay to cast each piece when you return it. The $159 kit adds a casting voucher for your first silver piece.

Do I cast the metal at home?

No. You carve the wax and we do the casting, so you need no furnace, torch or molten metal. Your wax melts away in the kiln at our Denver, Colorado workshop, and solid silver or gold takes its exact shape.

Can I cast in gold or platinum?

Yes — 10k to 18k yellow, white and rose gold, and platinum. Choose your metal when you submit your wax through The Makers Table. Gold and platinum are priced by the weight of your wax, so you only pay for what you've made. We weigh it, send a quote, and you decide.

How long does it take?

We typically aim for 5–7 weeks from the moment our Denver, Colorado workshop receives and checks in your wax. More complex designs can take a little longer.

Is it safe for children?

With adult supervision, yes. The kit contains sharp tools, so only adults 18 and over can buy it, but there are plenty of safe techniques for younger makers.

What are casting vouchers?

A prepaid promise to turn your wax into real jewelry. Each voucher covers up to 2g of wax — plenty for most designs. Heavier pieces get a small surcharge.

How is this different from the Heirloom fingerprint pack?

This kit is for carving your own design. Want a loved one’s fingerprint, toe or paw cast as a pendant instead? Our Heirloom Wax™ Impression Pack captures it in soft wax, from $15.
