A New Way to Wear My Designs
My work has always been inspired by nature: branches, leaves, roots, and the beautiful irregular lines that make natural forms unique.
With Ready to Cast, I’m opening the door for more of these existing designs to find their way into the world.
I’m excited about the possibilities—not because I’m changing how I create, but because I’m finding a new way to share the work I’ve already done.
Ready to Cast is coming soon.
I’ll be sharing more as the collection takes shape. Thank you for following my work and being part of this next chapter of Dawn Vertrees Jewelry.
Every original design begins with an idea. Sometimes, its next beginning is in your hands.

Introducing Ready to Cast
Coming soon to my Shopify store, Ready to Cast will feature original designs I have already sculpted and developed.
Instead of beginning with a completely new custom design, you’ll be able to choose from selected existing designs and explore the possibilities for making one your own.
Depending on the design, choices may include:
Metal: Sterling silver, yellow gold, white gold, or rose gold.
Ring size: A size suited to you.
Gemstones: Available stone options compatible with the design.
Each piece will be priced according to its materials, gemstone, casting, finishing, and the work involved in bringing the design to life.

From Sculpted Wax to Finished Jewelry
A sculpted wax model is an important part of my creative process. It holds the original shape, texture, and details that I worked into the design by hand.
The next step is imagining how that design will look in metal.
The visual examples accompanying this story offer a glimpse of that transformation—from the original sculpted model to a possible finished piece. Different metals and finishes can bring out different qualities in the same design.
The finished jewelry will be created from my original sculpture, preserving the character of the design while allowing for selected personal choices.
