NEW SERVICE FOR WAXES ONLY

From 25 October, when you request waxes only from your moulds, this will now cost £1.50 per wax. If you then return them to us for casting, we will deduct the £1.50 from the casting charge.

Please note, that you must include the invoice number relating to the original waxes in your instructions. If you do not include this number, no deductions will be made.

New Eco Silver

As you have probably heard, Cooksons have withdrawn Eco Silver from their range. Basically all their standard silver is made with recycled fine silver and to charge extra for Eco Silver is perhaps a little cheeky.

However, Betts are producing a quality product using reclaimed x-ray plates to give an alloy with 935 parts per 1000.
So, from now on we are going to use this as our Eco Silver. The good news is that it appears to be slightly cheaper, and will still assay as Sterling.

I hope you approve of this as it is a genuine eco product using recycled fine silver – no messing. We approve, just carry on as normal and we will use the new metal.

CREDIT NOTES?

We have noticed that there are many of our customers with unused credit notes on their accounts – did you know can use these to pay any invoices?
For example, if your invoice comes to £10, and your credit is for £5, simply pay the balance of £5.
This will keep your accounts up to date.

LOST WAX CASTING FROM YOUR MODEL

If it’s made of metal – when we then produce a rubber mould and inject wax in – or if it’s a wax from your own cad cam design, we can stick these to a central sprue, pour investment plaster round, and that’s the first bit.

WE HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE

A Scottish team based on the Mull of Kintyre – been here for 40 years & we know our jewellery from end to end and everyone says we’re just great to deal with.

CURRENT CASTING SERVICE PERFECT?

We know it can be tricky to change casters. Maybe we can help. Give us a call to talk it through on: 01583 431683

WHAT YOU SEE

…is what you get. No mystery pricing, very fair metal prices – it’s all there on our price list.

MODEL ENGINEERS

We can cast your rapid prototypes or reproduce small parts in any of our listed metals.

INTO EUROPE…

…every day. Castings are sent into the EU area regularly with no problems. With the Pound/Euro exchange rate in your favour it makes for very good value casting. But be warned, our language skills are not the greatest… 🙂

CORPORATE AND PROMOTIONAL GIFTS

Looking to have your bespoke corporate gift manufactured? Silver, gold, copper and brass giftware has been a core part of our business for 40 years – and no cheap plastic pens in sight! Send us an email or call us to get the ball rolling. We can do more than sticking your logo on a keyring.

IT’S SO EASY

No contracts, no big deal. You send us the master or wax – we send you the castings. Just send us a couple of models. Easy.

EVERYBODY HAS QUESTIONS

Just talk to us, we’re sure we’ve got the answers. Design, technology, money, communications.

AND THEN IT GETS A BIT HOTTER

We remove the wax – an overnight task in the kiln – then our master caster, with casting grain of your choice, zips the metal in using our vacuum casting machine or centrifuge. Temperature, pressure and time are all critical to get the good results we expect.

AND FINALLY

We know you, as jewellers and silversmiths, are only satisfied with the best. Quality is number 1 on the sharp edge of retailing; we’ll try and get you off and running.
