Inside the Wax Bench – The Starting Point for Every Lukali & Co Masterpiece

At Lukali & Co, every extraordinary piece begins in one place—our wax bench. Here, ideas take physical form for the first time, carved or printed into intricate wax models that will soon become precious metal treasures.

The photo above captures a single moment in the life of our workshop, but it speaks volumes about the variety of work we create. In just one tray, you’ll see wax models for everything from playful, cartoon-inspired pendants to bold graffiti lettering, elegant angel wings, custom rings, and even statement medallions.

Each wax form is a blueprint—meticulously crafted to ensure that when we cast it in gold or silver, the final piece is flawless in proportion, detail, and wearability. Every line, curve, and texture is locked in here, ready to withstand the transformation from delicate wax to solid, lasting jewelry.

This variety is what excites us most at Lukali & Co. One day we’re crafting a luxury high-jewelry piece dripping with diamonds; the next, a streetwear-inspired pendant with bold personality. But no matter the style, the process always starts here—at the wax bench, where imagination becomes reality.

For us, this stage isn’t just technical—it’s creative freedom. It’s the moment when ideas stop being concepts and start becoming something you can hold, wear, and treasure for a lifetime.
