    and there in lies the point. most metalsmiths and jewelers know how
    to make our own molds and need not send anything off. To compare the
    two as equal forms is not accurate. clay is clay is clay, it doesn't
    lend itself at all in the slightest to lost wax casting. you may copy
    an object- or rather have it copied for you- but the application is
    different, technique different, and cost absurd, when given that wax
    is a 26th the price.
