Abstract
A method of providing a positive three-dimensional image of a textured object on metal jewelry, plates, or tags, etc. The textured object may be a finger, fingertip, or any object with a three-dimensional texture. A negative-impression mold is formed in a thermoplastic material, and a positive-impression model then obtained from the negative-impression mold. The positive-impression model is used in the lost-wax process to obtain a piece of metal jewelry having the positive, three-dimensional image of the textured object. The jewelry may be a ring, a pendant, a bracelet, etc., made of gold, silver, platinum, or other metal.
