Minin-wax sprue bracelet => 6 photos

 Those 4 cornered holes were an afterthought for gemstone settings.

 The horse's upper profile is a separate wax. The circle of mini claws was another wax that has to be set first and then joined before the face was to be soldered. In essence, there are 3 pieces to this one pendant. This is a real delicate combination of "wax =>gold" items.

 I saw this little pendant that was worth saving, again I make a mold of it first. The attached sprue was of a correct size, and no wax sprue alterations were necessary.

 I created this ornate bracelet from a hollow curved surface. I attached a long sprue to extend from one end to the other.

 All of these wax circles were intended for multiple-Tube settings, The placement of all of these tubes were decided prior to any wax castings. 

 

 Wax sprues had no costs involved, so I was not bothered with how many there were. I thought of the flowing of the metal, as this was my only concern.

 When the metal sprues were to be removed, this was not a major cleaning problem. I am more concerned of the flowing of metal while in the flask.
