Julian Esquivel and Ted Fees have been creating quality jewelry designs for over 22 years. For the first 13 years, we ran a successful women's accessory company and then decided to change the focus of our work to animal and unusual theme jewelry designs for men and women. All of the original designs on our web site are hand carved from wax.
Our work is known for being substantial in weight, it's detail and dimensionality, capturing the essence and personality of each piece.Each order is hand cast using the lost wax casting process.
After assembling your order, each piece is hand finished and hand buffed to a perfect surface finish. When you order from us you are ordering quality hand made jewelry. Our jewelry is not mass produced and because of this we ask that you allow us a little extra time to produce your special order. If you need your order by a certain date, please let us know and we will do our best to have it delivered when you need it.

Hand Carving The Original Design
![]() ![]() |
|
All of our original designs start with a block of Jewelers carving wax. The wax is very hard and with talent and patience, any design can be carved from this material. A single wax carving will take several weeks to complete. Shown here is a Sphynx Cat design carved from wax. This will be the "Master Wax" and from this piece we will make a mold so that it can be reproduced and cast in either gold or silver. |
![]() ![]() | |
We make a mold from the original green wax master. The Mold is pink rubber and when the mold is finished, it is cut in half. The original is removed and where the original was, there is now nothing. To create the wax for casting the empty mold is filled, under pressure, with hot casting wax. When the wax has cooled, it is removed from the mold. |

After removing the wax from the mold it is inspected and carefully cleaned. If the wax is approved, it is then attached to a special base (shown in blue above right). The attached waxes and the base are called the Tree.
