creative rings & castings
Beautiful work by R.S. & J.Z. in Senior Jewelry. Featured here are creative projects designed by each student, as well as Lost Wax Castings cast out of sterling silver. We’ll miss you, R.S.! Have a great return to Germany.
all in the family…
J.L. in Grade 12 re-cast these beautiful matching gold pendants from a family heirloom: one for herself, her sister, and her mom. A great example of how significant & timeless jewelry-making can be. Great work, and good luck on your welding ACE-IT program, J.L.!
Great castings
Sterling bald eagle ring, and custom-carved brass axe, both cast and created by Grade 12 student D.H. Nice work!
Lost Wax Castings
Sterling dice ring created by M.M-T.: her first casting! Sterling guillotine earrings made by request as a Christmas present for K.T.’s friend.
Lost wax casting with organic material
Lost Wax Casting isn’t just for wax! As C.S. in Grade 12 proves, organic materials like branches, twigs, and even bugs can be cast out of metal. After some experimentation, C.S. cast this cedar branch out of sterling silver: it looks incredible (in-process photo also included here).
Also featured is an unfinished sterling silver pendant cast out of a piece of Cumberland bark. Experiments like this are always welcome in the Highland Jewelry shop!
Rings, rings, rings!
An assortment of rings made in Highland’s Jewelry shop. Lost wax casting (with leaves) by T.G., braided copper wire ring, copper friendship ring by H.G., and overlapping forged ring by K.T. Keep up the creative work, everyone!
Lost wax rings
Fantastic work by L.W., G.S., B.L., and S.G. in Senior Jewelry: owl ring in sterling, others in brass.
First earrings!
Beautiful work by C.S. in Grade 11: Highland Jewelry Shop’s first set of cast earrings! Sterling feathers with handmade jump rings.
Awesome castings
T.M. in Grade 11 casts a brass ring that coincidentally looks like our first project, W.H. in Grade 12 makes a sterling set of skulls, L.B. in Grade 12 hand carved wax to cast the small brass knuckle pendant, and M.F. cast an epic wolf ring…excellent work!
