Browse All : The lost wax technique was used to create this copper nose ring. The nose ring was fabricated in beeswax, embedded in a fine clay mold, heated to dry out the clay mold and melt the wax out. Molted metal is poured into the negative space mold to form the copper nose ring. The molten copper cools and solidifies. The hot mold/metal is placed into cool water to break the mold and free the copper nose ring.
