Prsten na motiv bájné Medúsy

Abstract

The aim of this bachelor thesis is to make a silver ring on the motif of the mythical Medusa using the method of precision lost-wax casting. The theoretical part of the thesis deals with the history of jewellery and rings, the types of rings and the story of Medusa from Greek myths, as well as her figure, which has become an inspiration for many works of art. The practical part describes the process from the design of the model to the casting of the final casting and its surface treatment. The individual attempts and the step-by-step determination of the necessary parameters for successful casting were described.
