One of the other students here was experimenting with pewter and found that due to its low melting temperature (compared to the bronze/silver that we usually use) she could set the object in the wax and cast the pewter around it without damaging the object. She even managed to cast pewter around candy hearts (a few were damaged, but many were not).
