1: Concept- This is the first stage of any design. This
is where all the thought and inspiration is applied. Unlock your imagination!
The sky's the limit! Then leave the rest up to us and our master craftsmen
and artists. |
|
| |
|
| Step
2: Sketch- This is the stage where all thoughts are put
to paper in 2-D. Sketch done by artist. |
|
| |
|
| Step
3: Model- Then a wax model of the piece is created. Each
model is an actual artists sculpture in 3-D. (Depending on the design)
Sculptures are created with wax or precious metals. |
|
| |
|
| Step
4: Casting- The casting process is when the wax sculpture
is formed into metal. The wax model is submerged in cement. Once it
hardens it's then placed in an oven until the wax melts away. The
precious metal is liquified then injected into the hollow impresion. |

|
| Step
5: Jewelry Work from Shaping-Row casting then goes to a
Goldsmith to be filed, shaped, assembled , and cleaned of any casting
skin still left on the piece. The Goldsmith then defines the model's
line and prepares the piece for finishing. He then adds clasps and
locks if needed. |

| |
|
| Step
6: Setting-The setting process is actually setting the
stones into place. To secure a gem into jewelry, the stone setter
must create a precise seat, then secure the stone very carefully with
the precious metal. Pave, channel, bezel, prong, burnish, etc. |

| |
|
Step
7: Polishing-The final step is the polishing. This is the
process that brings the piece to life. Polishing brings out the piece's
beautiful luster.
