Sand Casting

At Cristello & Co, I love working with sand casting because it honors the raw beauty of imperfection while keeping each piece deeply personal. The process begins by pressing an object—whether organic material, a wax model, or even a found treasure—into fine sand to create a mold. Molten metal is then poured in, capturing every subtle texture and curve. What I love most is that no two casts are ever identical; the sand itself leaves behind unique markings that can never be repeated. This technique not only allows me to transform fleeting inspirations into heirlooms but also celebrates the earthy, tactile side of jewelry-making that feels authentic, soulful, and truly one of a kind.
