Delft Clay Casting: (Upcycling Jewelry) Recycling Broken/Unwanted Jewelry, Coins to Make New Jewelry

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

In this video Allen Newberry J.S. will be showing how to cast silver by recycling silver scraps and silver coins to make a silver ring using delft clay casting. Which is basically sand casting with a finer media. It can be used to make jewelry much faster than lost wax casting. This is a fun technique that doesn't require a large investment to get started with. It will allow you to take broken or unwanted jewelry and recycle it into new jewelry or other metal objects. It can be done with gold, silver, brass, bronze, copper, platinum, etc. It could be used to make knife hardware such as guards or butt plates. This is one of the most fun tools for upcycling jewelry and scrap precious metals.
Allen Newberry is a Journeyman Smith with the American Bladesmith Society and a Forged in FIre Champion.

    When I go to slide off the top half of the mould, the frame slides away without the sand, the same keeps it’s shape it just comes away as a solid piece separately. But if I put too much pressure on it, the sand sticks to the layer below and the same thing happens, the frame comes off on its own.

    @David Chatterton interesting. Here in Scandinavia none of the goldsmiths I know will recycle gold from an heirloom piece and use that exact gold to make a new piece, as they all agree the gold tends to loose it’s quality and karat and becomes contaminated with air. Instead all the ld gold you leave is recycled by companies that do only this insuring the refined quality and karat grade, reselling the finiahed gold to the jewelsmiths for a discounted price. Ie all gold from tooth fillings to junk jewelry is done at these places and recycled, meaning your finished product isn’t actually made of the exact same gold you gave the goldsmith. Nobody I talked to says it’s worth doing casting like thos with 18k gold, and if I understand correctly it also has to do with the overall durability and workability (if not simply casting) of the gold with microscopic air inclusions. I didn’t know silver has a greater tendency to be contaminated as it’s always recycled one way or another by silversmiths themselves, made me surprized. I guess it’s the value of the gold that has people refuse to use the method of recycling it themselves… As much as I understand gold is recycled all the time bc of it’s value at these specialty services it’s sortof a pity using an heirloom to make another isn’t done for sentimental reasons. Even if you get compensated for the gold you turn in when having something made, jewelry is mostly sentimental in value anyway, or mainly no matter the actual cost. I’d like to try casting in gold from old broken rings and chain I have but feel a bit hesitant due to this feedback I’ve gotten. You seem to have experience, I’d appreciate your take on this, and anyone else who works with gold!
