We’re a small, efficient precious metal caster in Scotland’s idyllic West Coast. We use state-of-the-art Lost Wax Casting machinery to recreate master copies of jewellery (mostly) for our own jewellery shop/workshop as well as many other jewellery manufacturers.
Our service available to everyone – if you have something which you would like to have multiple, high quality versions of, we’re your people. From huge runs – limitless numbers of your latest silver pendant to re-creating that earring you lost in the garden, it’s all possible.
Our team consists of our Principle, Mike Hurst – master craftsman, his wife Trish – Admin (and our resident gemologist/amateur astronomer!) and Mikes employees (all local residents of Carradale) Cath, Lynsay, Catherine and Sandy. Mike and Trish have been running Wallis Hunter/The Carradale Gold Foundry for more than 35 years and their combined experience ensures consistent quality and efficiency.
As well as being investment (or lost wax casting) casters we have a small shop the the village of Carradale, Argyll where we sell our own ranges of silver and gold jewellery – also available on our Websites: WallisHunter-Jewellery.com and TheKiltPinCompany.com. This has enabled us to fine-tune our casting techniques from first hand experience on the the bench.
So if your current castings are suffering from Porosity, Fire Stain, “Orange Peel” or any other issue it’s probably time to save yourself a headache and give us a try.
