The first artist I came across while doing my research is Carrie Adell. This Artist works with a does not just work with lost wax casting only , but she incoperates it with different techniques like Patina.
In the picture above is a neck piece by Adell called the Honeycomb Collar. In this piece she incoperates lost wax casting which is in a form of bees and a honeycomb link chain. 14- and 18-karat gold with citrinesand diamonds ; cast and constructed . This piece examplifies the fine detailing and realism attainable with patient wax modeling.
The second artist I found was Lee B. Peck. who specialises in lost wax casting and bringing realism into jewellery , in the picture above she exposes her skills in wax carving.

Answering My Research Question
Ansering my research question , i had to find ways to create 3D forms and the one way i could think of is lost wax casting . This is a technique that i really enjoy using , it requires a lot of patience and practice. I first had to create tools in which i can use to carve in the wax the way i want to. I feel like this technique brings more life and form to a jewellery piece. In my project i also wanted do jewellery that resembles unity , some of the things i used are chain links and the use of mixed materials which portray unity.
