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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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