Precious metal Casting

decor#5 and home pageLimpid Jewelry repeatedly produces high quality castings through the application of rigorous process controls and learning through experience.

We cast variety of alloys daily and are always working to develop and offer the latest in precious metals casting. Casting is generally done on a next-day basis. Any wax received before 5:00 PM is cast the next day to be available by 12:00 Noon.

Same-Day Casting

Sometimes, tomorrow is not soon enough and you need to convert your wax to precious metal. For these occasions, ask us for five hour Same-Day Casting service. This is how works:

1) Call us a day in advance. Same day casting requires planning to be integrated into regular daily workload. Your request in advance makes the process easier and there is a better chance that we can fit the job in.

2) Let us have your wax models before 10 am. Your job is ready by 3 pm. If we have your wax model in time, your casting can be shipped the same day.

90% Platinum, 10 % Iridium – It is white, casts wells, works well and wears well. The only limitation is that you can’t stamp it PLAT (without the 90 qualifier).

95% Platinum, 5% Ruthenium – The Ruthenium alloy is gives the Platinum a very slight gray color. The metal casts and finishes reasonably well, and is very durable.
