Instructions in 6 steps Use our special jewellery cement for casting jewellery. It is extremely finely sieved to get a smooth and fine-pored surface. And this is how it works:

Step 1

To cast the jewellery-cement-pendant you need an elastic casting mould, a digital scale and a small plastic container as well a craft wooden stick for stirring. The mixing ratio: 1 part of water : 5 parts of jewellery-cement.

Step 2

First, weigh the water in a cup and then add gradually the jewellery-cement. Stir it with a craft wooden stick until a homogeneous mass arises.

Step 3

Now, you can fill the mould with the casting compound. The mould should always be cleaned with detergent and water before being filled. If bubbles occur, you should tap few times the mould on the pad.

Step 4

The temperature and the current air humidity determine the drying time. It is however advisable to demould the pendant only the next day. Allow post drying.

Step 5

The upper side, in other words the subsequent reverse side, you can rectify with some fine sandpaper.

Step 6

Open wide the ringlet by using two flat pliers. Hold firmly the ringlet with one pair of pliers while the gap of the ringlet is facing up, now open the ringlet backwards by using the second pair of pliers. Hang in the jewellery-cement pendant, the element chain and the Shamballa bead, then close the ringlet by using the both pliers.
