For centuries, the art of creating sculptures in precious metals involved the traditional process of hot casting. D’Argenta initiated a technological advancement 25 years ago.
D’Argenta’s artisans developed a new method. Through a combination of cold casting and electroforming, the sculptures are initially plated with a .015 inch thick (400 micras) layer of copper and then silver or gold (24K) plated at a thickness of .001 of an inch (24 micras). Inside, they have a polyester and fiber glass core to reinforce the metal cover.
Finally, all pieces are protected with a very resistant lacquer to prevent tarnishing and are not to be polished with any metal cleaner. Just dust them with a soft cloth.
