Watch an artistic video showing a collectible Louis Vuitton charm being made, from lost wax casting to stone setting to the final polishing

 I've read about how to do casting, I've seen video demonstrations of how to do casting, but I'd never seen a beautiful montage of the process until I came across this video that Christophe Graillot did for Louis Vuitton to showcase how they craft their jewelry. (If you're really averse to advertising, avoid the last minute or so.)

Let me know what you think!

    On the day after I have spent eight hours trying to teach myself pave setting without much success, I feel like a total failure after seeing how easy it looks for them. However it is a nice protrayal of how the flow should be from sketch to finished product. I seem to have missed something in my own order of creating a peice of jewelry.

About Kristin Sutter

I started working on Art Jewelry as the copy editor in April 2005. (At the same time, I was also the copy editor for Art Jewelry's sister publications, BeadStyle and Bead&Button.) So, I've spent more than two years learning all I could about jewelry and Art Jewelry's readers. My job was to make sure the magazines were easy to understand when they got into your hands. That's still my job now that I'm working solely for Art Jewelry, but now I'll also be doing some writing and, well, whatever Hazel needs me to do, really. I'm excited to have new challenges, to have fun trying out ideas, to work with this staff (such cool people!), and to be able to make this your favorite magazine!
