Culture & Context

Wax comes in all different colours, for this ring I used purple wax which is very some and smooth to carve. Again starting from a ring blank, I can resize the ring to fit a specific finger

Process & Production

Purple wax is a little softer than green and blue, It smooths easily and is really lovely to work with. the main difference between the waxes is the melting temperature when casting.

Recipe Details

Purple wax carves easily, all the excess wax is saved and re-melted.
