The Remarkable Goldsmiths’ Story of our Dartmouth Wreck Chain bracelet


hilst kayaking up Mill Creek and into the River Dart we found an


old wreck called The Winnifred. For fun we fished out some of the rusted chain on the wreck and liked them so much that we found a company who could 3D scan it and then shrink it down for us. They made little wax versions of the link from the shrunk down model. Their first attempt involved smoothing all the details off and we had to say ‘please keep the detail!’ Once we were happy with the wax versions we cast them the ‘lost wax’


the shipwreck. The perfect combi- nation of 21st


century technology


process. This involves taking a large metal can and filling it with plaster of Paris around the wax links. Then we burn out the wax and fill the remaining holes with molten metal. These resulting links are now tiny casts of the exact chain found on
