loyalty and artistry: The Lazada x suarez & sons Collaboration
The art of craftsmanship is alive and well in our local community, and nothing exemplifies this more than the beautiful Lazada Ring & Pendant Awards. These stunning pieces of jewelry are a testament to the talented hands of our local artisans, who have worked tirelessly to create something truly unique and special.
The process of creating the Lazada Ring & Pendant Awards is a true labor of love. It involves a highly precise and meticulous process that ensures the final product is of the highest quality.
Wax Injection
The wax injection is a commonly used process in the manufacturing of jewelry and other metal products. In this process, a mold is created to replicate the desired design of the final product. The mold is then filled with wax and allowed to cool and solidify. Once the wax has hardened, it is removed from the mold, creating a wax model of the product.
Once the wax model is approved, it is used to create a mold for the final product using a process called lost-wax casting.

The wax model is encased in a plaster-like material and then heated to melt the wax and create a cavity in the plaster. The silver or gold material is then melted in a crucible, which is a heat-resistant cylinder designed to hold the liquid metal. The metal is heated to a temperature of around 800°C to 1000°C, or until it reaches a fully molten state. The metal is also usually alloyed with other metals to increase its strength and durability.
The metal is poured slowly and steadily to avoid any air bubbles forming in the mold, which could cause defects in the final piece.
CLEANING
The casted material is then soaked in water. This helps to loosen and dissolve any remaining investment powder or other debris that may be attached to the surface of the metal. It should be dried thoroughly using a soft cloth or air dryer. Any excess moisture can lead to corrosion or other damage to the metal surface.
The cleaning process after casting is a critical step in creating high-quality jewelry. By using the proper techniques and materials, jewelry makers can ensure that their casted pieces are free of impurities and ready for further processing and finishing work.
POLISHING
The final step is polishing which helps to enhance the shine, luster, and overall appearance of the piece. Different polishing tools may be used depending on the type of jewelry and the level of polishing required. Some common polishing tools include polishing cloths, buffing wheels, and polishing compounds.
The jewelry is held against the polishing tool with gentle pressure and moved in a back-and-forth or circular motion to achieve an even and consistent finish.
