Jewelry manufacturing is a constantly changing discipline. The most routine processes undergo frequent experimentation, refinement, and improvement. Stone-in-place casting is no exception.

A relatively new process in jewelry making, having first appeared in the 1980s, stone-in-place has rapidly become one of the best-known and most-practiced methods for saving time and labor. As its popularity has grown, it has been naturally refined and streamlined; today’s practitioners can take advantage of CAD/CAM-built models, investments designed exclusively for the process, improved casting alloys, and more.
