WXYZ JEWELRY - Staircase Hinged Cuff

The Staircase Hinged Cuff is a harmonious confrontation of texture and depth. The piece bonds such elements in a fluid manner, fashioning a subtle, yet eccentric accessory.

Lost wax cast armature onto which metal tubes are hand-woven. Gold and gunmetal plated and matte black powder-coated.

A traditional jewelry making technique, lost wax casting dates back 5,000 years. In lost wax casting, an original model is created from wax or clay. From this a mold is created into which molton wax is poured. The wax is fused to a rubber base where a metal flask is attached. Refractory plaster is poured into the flask where it is later burned out. At this point, the mold is ready for metal casting. All WXYZ castings are hand finished.
