SÓLIDA CLUB - Darío and Romo

Last CLUB of 2023

Lola Miche

Bonjour!

Here are a few pictures from the last CLUB of 2023 with Jimena (Romo) and Darío which took place in November-December. They both created necklaces with very different motifs.

 

CLUB - Darío and his sun shaped pendant

 

Darío decided to materialize the image of a sun from a drawing he holds dear.

 

CLUB - Darío cutting a wax cylinder

 

After sketching his idea, Darío cut a piece from a wax cylinder in order to start shaping his wax model.

 

CLUB - Romo's sketch of her pendant

 

Romo went for a faceted geometrical cross shape with a diamond set in its center by Lola as the (final) finishing touch.

 

CLUB - Romo carving and filing her wax model

 

Romo had to cut a piece of wax from a larger block before she could start carving her model.

 

CLUB - Darío filing his pendant

 

Once the process of lost wax casting into metal was done, they both proceeded to filing and sanding their pendants.

 

CLUB - Romo and her polished cross pendant

 

The last steps included soldering the bail (the hoop above pendants that allows to put them on a chain) on each pendant and polishing with a sanding pad.

 

CLUB - Romo's cross pendant

 

After using a bench buffer for a lasting shine, both pendants were mounted on snake chains.
