Cast and Polish
You can send your final wax piece(s) by post or drop it/them off in person. The foundry will then cast your piece in the desired fine metal. Usually foundrys don’t include finishings. Jewellers take the casting spru off and polishing the piece themselves. To simplify this step, Kiste is collaborating with an Amsterdam-based foundry. With the included cupon, communcation will be simplifyed and you can have your piece(s) finished off to your wishes. As another extra, this collaboration offers soldering an earpin on your piece, to create earrings out of your sculptures. It will take around two weeks to get your finished piece(s) back.
