Answer: What you are talking about is Jewelry casting. You have to be Goldsmith, Silversmith, or a student in Jewelry courses. To learn more about them you can click on these sites. http://jewelrymaking.about.com/library/blcast.htm http://www.paradise-jewelry.com/images/casting.htm ************************************************************** Spunk113 gave a very good advise on taking a course on Lost Wax Casting. Depends on where you live, you might want to do some research on where the Lost Wax Casting or Casting Jewelry course would be held at. I would go to a individual jewelry store and see if they have jewelry repair person available. If they do have jewelry repair person available, you might want to ask if they know any school that teaches casting. To get into having your own casting equipments, tools, wax, etc. will cost you somewhere between $6,000 to $15,000.
