Did you know?
FYI In the making of some jewelry, you will periodically find some shrinkage during the manufacturing and casing process. Due to a phenomenon called casting shrinkage.
When the molten metal is poured into a mold and cools, it contracts as it changes from a liquid to solid. There are natural physical property of metals and their molecular structure. The shrinkage can vary by metal type and composition as well as the casting conditions.
So next time you see an original piece of jewelry you may experience some changes. This does not change the lovely piece much, but you may see a slight difference in size from the original creation. I hope you will find your next lovely piece of handmade jewelry that you will treasure a lifetime, even if you see some shrinkage. Just thought I'd let you know! Let's love jewelry together!
