18ct Gold Casting for Jewellers & Jewellery Designers

18ct Gold Casting at JewelCast

At JewelCast, we specialise in quality 18ct gold casting for luxury fine jewellers, designers, and manufacturers across the UK. We help turn your concepts into beautifully finished castings with exceptional detail and craftsmanship.

From our workshop in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter, we produce precision castings in yellow gold, white gold, and rose gold. Using specialist 3D jewellery design programmes we create 3-dimension models on-screen, which are then printed in high-resolution wax. The waxes are added to a tree, a mould is made, and the piece is realised in fine gold platinum or silver.

Whether you need a one-off bespoke jewellery piece, prototype, or full production run, our experienced team can help bring your designs to life with stunning accuracy and finish quality.

What Is 18ct Gold Casting?

18ct gold casting is the process of creating jewellery using molten 18 carat gold poured into a mould formed from a wax or resin model. This process allows jewellers to produce highly detailed and repeatable designs while maintaining the premium appearance and durability associated with 18ct gold jewellery.

18ct gold contains 75% pure gold combined with other metals to improve strength, durability, and colour consistency, making it one of the most popular choices for luxury jewellery manufacturing.

Why Choose 18ct Gold?

18ct gold remains a preferred option for fine jewellery as it is nicer to work with, rich in colour, and perfectly balances luxury, durability, and value.

Benefits of 18ct Gold Jewellery Casting

  • Rich, premium gold colour
  • Higher gold content than 9ct gold
  • Excellent durability for everyday jewellery
  • Suitable for intricate casting designs
  • Can be alloyed with other material to create white, yellow, rose, pink, red, green, or brown gold
