Merchants of the Sun

<p>Lost wax casting is a traditional metalworking technique dating back thousands of years. Here&apos;s the process: our artisans hand-carve the original design in wax, create a mold, burn out the wax in a kiln, pour molten silver or gold into the mold, then hand-polish and finish each piece. Our standard range is crafted in limited edition batches and periodically restocked based on demand, while our Made to Order collection is produced individually per order. Either way, each piece is quality-checked and built to last.</p>
