Designing department
Each piece of jewelry starts off with an inspiration. There are a few motives that can inspire a jewelry designer. Primary incentives to design jewelry include focusing on the intended user desires and needs. Another is to ride the wave of current market and fashion trends by elaborating current popular themes. Still another more free spirited approach is from the soul whereby artisans own dreams and the materials and gems dictate the direction of design.
For our designing team, this is done with a detailed color painting, or creating a simple basic sketch to use as a guideline. Our CAD Designer will also create a comprehensive, computer rendering through CAD jewelry design, where we are able to view the jewelry from every angle and can rest assured that the designs will look exactly how we envisioned.
RUBBER MOLD
The rubber forms itself around the master model, creating a perfect three-dimensional impression of the piece of jewelry. The rubber is cut in half to remove the silver master. Then the rubber is put back together and the final result is the rubber mold which can be accurately duplicated for thousands of wax replicas for mass production.
Tree making
The wax tree will be placed into a metal cylinder, known as a flask, so that a plaster substance, combining investment powder and water can be poured over to create the molds. The flask of wax models is then put into an extremely hot oven overnight so that the detail of the wax pieces is captured in the mold as the wax is absorbed. The quality of the wax is probably the most underrated part of the casting process. Any defects in the wax like distortion or internal air bubbles will dramatically affect the end results of your casting. Our mold cutters and wax injectors work very closely to insure that every mold is working perfectly to produce the finest wax possible.
Casting
With the advent of high frequency melting and a host of other technologies, jewelry casting equipment is more dynamic than ever. This powerful induction heating generator provides fast and efficient melting and mixing of precious and non-precious metals and alloys. A heavy-duty DC motor delivers high speed and high acceleration centrifugal casting, resulting in excellent compacting of the metal and perfect filling of the finest details.
Assembly and Grinding
Now that all the jewelry pieces are cast and pre-polished, the next jewelry manufacturing process is “assembly”. Here is where earring posts are added to the earrings, bails to hold pendants are added, or bracelet links are attached. To do this, a special silver alloy that melts at a slightly lower temperature than our cast pieces of jewelry is used to solder or weld these silver pieces, called findings, into place. Once all the soldering is completed, the jewelry creation is ready to move to the pre-polish stage.
Stone setting
While we are designing jewelry we can choose from many methods of stone setting, each intended to present gemstones in a different manner. Some stone setting is intended to raise and dramatize a single stone, while others types offer clusters of gems to be viewed as a group. There are stone setting techniques with detailed workmanship that is intended to lead the eye to the featured design. In other cases the setting work is intended to protect a fragile gem from excessive wear.
Polishing
Buffing and polishing are the two procedures used to produce the final high luster on jewelry. Although often used interchangeably these are two separate operations. Buffing is an abrasive process where a small amount of the surface is removed. Tripoli is the most commonly used compound for buffing. It will remove minor scratches left from sanding and smooth out all surfaces, however it will not bright polish. Jewelry pieces require buffing before the gemstone is set.
Plating
Plating is basically a cover applied on the surface of a metallic item. This Application of plating can respond to different kind of purposes. It can be used to inhibit corrosion, to increase solder ability, to improve wear ability, to reinforce paint adhesion, to reduce frictions, to improve conductivity and, in our case, to decorate and embellish jewelry.
What does Oxidized mean?
Oxidation is a chemical process which gives a “tarnished” or “discolored” effect to your jewelry. Oxidized jewelry is getting more popular along with other products having antique finishes or vintage effects. For esthetical matters and after manufacturing certain items, we oxidize the jewelry in order to blacken the hollow parts and the holes to give them an ancient optical aspect. For Example an item that has a written engraving, once oxidized, will have the engraved part blackened which makes the words or letters contrast and readable. Oxidation is a finishing not a plating.
What is E-coating?
E-coating, also known as electro-coating or electro deposition is a method that uses electrical current to coat a metal surface with an organic lacquer, covering every nook and cranny on the jewelry with an even and consistent protective coat. This coat protects the sterling silver used to create the jewelry and lets the natural beauty of the sterling silver come through without fear of damage. Basically it is an ultra-fine transparent layer of plastic that protects the Silver and it’s plating, therefore considerably increase the lifetime and the shininess of your Jewelry.
What is Silver plating?
Silver Plating is an extra 100% Silver layer that we apply on top of the solid silver base in order to give it long-term shininess and an extra protection against scratches and daily usage. This layer, unless stated otherwise, is 2 Micron thick, but in certain case we might apply a thicker layer that goes up to 3 Microns. In general we also apply a layer of E-coat on top of the silver plating which protects the jewelry from tarnishing. You can identify this type of plating on the website as “Silver Plating + E-coat”. Please find below more information about E-coating.
What is Gold Plating?
Gold plating is a method of depositing a thin layer of gold onto the surface of the silver base by chemical or electrochemical plating. As for Gold Plating there are many different thicknesses available depending on the needs and the type of Jewelry. A ring for example is usually plated with at least 0.25 Microns or more as the item is exposed to many frictions and is hardwearing. For other items, they are gold flash plated.
What is Rose Gold Plating?
Rose gold also referred to as Pink Gold, is a gold and copper alloy. A common alloy composition for rose gold is 75% gold and 25% copper, making up 18 karat rose gold. There is no “pure” rose gold, since it is an alloy of gold and copper. The more copper, the more intense and strong the “rose” color will be.
What is Rhodium Plating?
Rhodium is a silver-white hard metal often found in platinum ores. In its natural solid state Rhodium is far too hard to be worked on, but it is used as an alloy in the smelting of platinum and palladium. Rhodium is a noble metal that imparts an extremely bright and hard wearing finish when applied as plating and gives a durable finish of exceptional brightness. Rhodium finishes can greatly enhance the appearance and longevity of any metal to which they are applied. Rhodium gives silver jewelry a particular and deep grey color that enhances the bright colors of Crystals or Cubic Zirconia Stones set on the item.
What is Black Ruthenium plating?
Ruthenium plating gives jewelry a “high-tech” jet-black or gun-metal grey look and can be plated onto a wide variety of metals. It is very hard and highly resistant to scratches. Black ruthenium plated jewelry gives a much darker black aspect than rhodium plated jewelry.
