Megan
Wax Carver
CAD/CAM and Casting Technician


I've been part of the Green Lake Jewelry Works team for many years, working behind the scenes to help bring each custom piece to life. My primary roles are carving wax models and assisting with casting, and I take a lot of pride in the care and precision that goes into preparing every piece before it’s cast.

Wax carving is one of my favorite parts of the process - it’s where raw ideas start to take shape in three dimensions. I love the challenge of transforming a digital or sketched design into something tangible that will ultimately become a meaningful piece of jewelry. Every project is a little different, and it keeps my work exciting and creatively satisfying.

As a casting assistant, I also help ensure everything is just right before a piece goes into metal. This stage of the process is incredibly technical, and attention to detail is everything. It's rewarding to know that the care I put into these early steps helps create a strong foundation for the final piece.
