NOTE: We find it is easier in use to convert back to wax and from there to the needed metal type. Based on 34 years in the industry, Anthony Eccles, managing director of pecs Investment Castings Pt Ltd, reports on the major developments he has witnessed in investment casting for the jewellery industry. Tony's quest for better ways to labor with cherished metals is far from finished. For the former ten years, pecs has offered customers their choice of semi finished castings or fully finished jewellery. The pecs story had its real first when a young apprentice jeweler found that he could not get on with his master. Tony remembers the experience as a very appropriate lesson in making one's own opportunity. In due course, Tony became a partner in the steady of Marcus jewelers in Melbourne. The year was 1963 and Tony had honest said farewell to his 20's.Motivated by the premature lessons learned from his father and with the sincere belief that there's no time like the donate to embark on a new course of life, Tony plunged into his own business. When it has set, the wax replica of the original metal charm is removed. Furthermore, it has enabled jewelers to enlarge their ranges available to customers. As already noted, Tony's initial expertise lay with silver and it was not until he set up pecs that he started to labor with gold. I was experimenting all the time. During this period a friend suggested that he should use silicon to make the alloys he needed. Looking back over the preceding 19 years, Tony and Ann acknowledge that it's been a difficult slog at one point Tony was so immersed in labor that Ann and the rest of the family persuaded him to receive up a hobby. An increased work charge will only apply if the Gould in ask requires surplus labor to achieve good waxes.
