“One of the best medals created by my business INDUSTRIAS ELITE metal Artisans,” assured its Director of Commerce D. Francisco Javier Puech Lara, once the work was finished. It was about the retrieval of the ancient medal of the Brotherhood of Nuestra Señora del Prado, patron of Ciudad Real, which after some attempts by the Corporation to retrieve this unique item trusted in the good intentions and professionalism of the business of INDUSTRIAS ELITE manufacturers of medals. In honor of the restoration, a sculpture of two faces with reliefs and ornaments was done by hand and text and hieroglyphics were digitalized in 3D. Eventually, special molding rubber was extracted through a centrifugation method, passing through each one of the processes in rigorous quality control. Consecutively, we pass the medal to the end phase in which we submerge the surface of the sculpture into a pool of silver and oxidized grade and the relief of the virgin in gold in the same piece of mold, which requires a mask and time for execution in order to offer these types of finishing touches. This work received the congratulations of the Treasurer of the Brotherhood and President of the General Board of Brotherhoods in Ciudad Real, D. Emilio Martín Aguirre. |
