Hi all,
I am a massive fan of raw uncut gemstones, and have been using them in my jewellery for quite a while now. Mostly an organic claw set style. I would love to try setting some of my raw stones in wax and having it cast. However, Im a bit lost as to how to go about it! I have searched for tutorials etc, but there seems to be very little out there on the subject! What I have in mind is melting wax around the stone and carving to create organic style claws. Has anyone tried anything like this themselves, or can anyone point me in the right direction as to how to go about it? Does anyone know of any good tutorials etc?

Thanks!!!
