Using wax wire for casting
Wax wire for casting allows you to:
- Easily create hinges, channels, and clasps in jewellery designs
- Save time compared to carving solid wax blocks
- Work with consistent thickness and flexibility for precise, repeatable results
Pre-formed Ferris Cowdery wax wires provide a ready-to-use solution for repetitive forms like rings and standard settings, while standard wax profile wire gives complete freedom for custom designs.
How to use wax wire
- Bend, cut, and shape wax wire to form hinges, settings, or structural elements in your wax model
- Combine with other wax components for complex designs
- Use pre-formed Ferris Cowdery wax wires for quick, uniform shapes in rings or clasps
Choosing the right wax wire for your project
If you need flexibility and shaping freedom e.g. for clasps, hinges or complex settings, choose a smaller-gauge wax profile wire.
For structural parts like thick channels, ring mounts or strong settings, heavier-gauge profile wire or pre-formed wax tubes give more stability.
For speed and consistency, pre-formed wax tubes reduce shaping time and standardise results across multiple castings.
