HOW YOUR JEWELLERY COMES TO LIFE… 💫
Have you ever wondered what actually goes into creating a piece of jewellery?
It’s a lot more than you might think… ☺️
It all begins with a CAD design, where every curve, measurement, stone setting and tiny detail is carefully created digitally. This stage alone can take hours, with several tweaks and revisions before the design is just right.
From there, a master or wax model is produced using specialist 3D printing technology, before the piece begins its journey towards becoming real jewellery.
The wax pieces are carefully assembled onto a casting tree and surrounded by a special investment material. During the burnout process, the wax disappears, leaving behind a perfect impression of the jewellery design.
And then comes the magical part… ✨
Molten silver or gold is cast into that space, turning the original design into precious metal.
But even at this stage, it’s far from finished!
Each individual piece has to be cut from the casting tree, filed, cleaned, refined and carefully polished by hand. Stones are individually set by a skilled stone setter before the jewellery receives its final polish and quality checks.
So while modern technology such as CAD design, 3D printing and specialist casting equipment plays an amazing part in jewellery making, there is still an incredible amount of traditional craftsmanship, skill and hand-finishing involved in every single piece.
From an idea…
to a design on a screen…
to a tiny wax model…
to the finished silver or gold piece you eventually hold in your hands 💫
Quite a journey for something so small… and something that can ultimately mean so much. 🪽♥️
