Tree trunk arts hand casts natural elements in solid silver and bronze. Each piece is unique through the wonder of nature and the artist’s spin on the lost wax casting process. The plant parts are put into a wet plaster then the plaster mold goes into a kiln for 8+ hours, burning out the plant material to create a mold. Molten metal is centrifugally thrown into the mold creating a solid metal model to be transformed into ready-to-wear jewelry. Currently Shipping silver and bronze end of July. Gold vermeil takes 4 weeks after the order date.
