Category:Home / Beauty / Fashion / Jewelry
Our jewelry is unique and it involves a lot of time and skill. Except for personalized jewelry which are handcrafted, most of our jewelries are done by casting machines.
Here's an overview of our jewelry manufacturing process :
* Concept : Each piece of jewelry starts off with a concept. A concept is basically a round design in the mind of the designer. The designer will draw rough sketches creating a feel of the design. Each and every designer is unique; therefore, sketches reflect the designer's personality and passion
* Selection : We gather all the rough sketches from all the designers and select the ones that truly reflect the trend and possess intrinsic beauty and simplicity
* Sketching : The selected rough sketches are then sent to the design department which will create detailed sketches of the design
* Mould making : This is a process in which a design is taken and a master mould is created. The mold makers take into consideration the size of the gemstones and their gram weight. The master mold then becomes a part of our design bank
* Production planning : The production planners decide which designs to produce and their respective quantity. Once production has been determined, the master mold are transferred to the casting department
* Casting : The casting department takes the production schedule and casts the pieces in the casting machines. Each casting machine is capable of producing hundred of cast every few hours. Casting is basically a low wax process in which molten wax is injected into the master mold to create a wax and all those waxes are arranged in a tree form. The entire tree is then put into the casting machine. Gold is then poured into the machine and replaces
the wax
* Stone setting : The casted pieces are then sent to the stone setting department, where stone setters set the gemstone into the casting. This is a very delicate, time-consuming operation that requires a lot of skills
* Polishing : After the stones are set, polishers take each and every piece and polish it by hand with the help of rubbing wheels.
* Finishing : The finishing process involves taking the polished piece and subjecting it to a proprietary technique which gives the gold a lustrous look.
* Quality Control : Each and every pieces of jewelry undergo rigid quality control. Each piece is checked for accuracy in casting, stone setting and finishing. If a piece does not meet the required standards, it is rejected immediately
* Packaging : Every piece of jewelry is carefully packed into individual polybags and numbered
* Shipping : Completed jewelry pieces are sent from factory to our showroom.
