World of Custom Made

Creating custom jewelry involves several steps, including designing with CAD (Computer-Aided Design), casting, and finishing.

Here is an overview of the process:

Initial Consultation:
The process begins with a consultation between the jewelry designer and the client. During this meeting, the client discusses their ideas, preferences, and any specific design elements they want in the piece.

Material Selection:
Once the design is finalized, the client and designer select the materials for the jewelry, such as the type of gold, gemstones, and any other elements like enamel or wood.

3D Printing or Wax Model:
A wax model or a 3D-printed version of the jewelry is created based on the CAD design. This model serves as a prototype for the final piece. It can be inspected for fit and design accuracy.

Casting:
The wax model or 3D-printed prototype is used to create a mold. This mold is typically made from a heat-resistant material. The wax is melted out or the 3D print is burned away, leaving an empty cavity in the mold.

Casting the Metal:
The selected metal (e.g., gold) is melted and poured into the mold cavity, taking the shape of the design. This process can be done through various methods, including centrifugal casting, vacuum casting, or lost-wax casting.

Finishing:
After the metal has cooled and solidified, the rough casting is removed from the mold. This piece is known as a casting blank or casting tree, which may have multiple jewelry pieces attached to it.
The next step involves refining and finishing the piece. This includes removing any excess metal, smoothing surfaces, and adding texture or details as required.

Setting Gemstones:
If the jewelry includes gemstones, they are carefully set into their designated positions. This requires precision and skill to ensure the stones are secure and aligned properly.

Polishing and Cleaning:
The jewelry is polished to achieve a desired finish, whether it’s high shine, matte, or textured. It is then cleaned to remove any residual casting or polishing compounds.

Quality Control:
The final piece is thoroughly inspected to ensure it meets the design specifications and quality standards. Any necessary adjustments or repairs are made at this stage.

Final Presentation:
The completed custom jewelry is presented to the client for approval. If everything is as expected, the client takes possession of the unique piece.
Throughout the entire process, communication between the client and the jewelry designer is essential to ensure the final product meets the client’s vision. Custom jewelry making requires a combination of artistic design, technical skill, and attention to detail to create a one-of-a-kind piece that is both aesthetically pleasing and structurally sound.

This process typically involves cutting the ring’s shank and either adding or removing metal to achieve the desired size. Skilled jewelers use specialized tools and techniques to ensure a precise and seamless resizing, taking into consideration the design and structural integrity of the ring.
In some cases, when a ring’s shank is worn out, damaged, or needs to be replaced for aesthetic reasons, jewelers offer new shank services. This involves removing the existing shank and replacing it with a new one. The new shank can be made from the same metal as the original or a different metal, depending on the customer’s preference.
Both ring resizing and new shank services require expertise and precision to ensure the ring maintains its original design and integrity. It is recommended to consult with a professional jeweler who can assess the ring and provide guidance on the best approach for resizing or replacing the shank.

Soldering

Soldering jewelry service involves the process of joining or repairing metal components of a piece of jewelry using solder. Soldering is a technique commonly used in jewelry making to securely connect metal parts together.
During the soldering process, a skilled jeweler uses a torch to heat the metal pieces to a specific temperature. Once the metal reaches the appropriate temperature, a small amount of solder, which is a metal alloy with a lower melting point, is applied to the joint. The solder melts and flows into the gap, creating a strong bond between the metal pieces when it cools and solidifies.
Soldering can be used for various purposes in jewelry, such as resizing rings, repairing broken chains or clasps, attaching findings or settings, and adding decorative elements. It requires precision and expertise to ensure that the soldered joint is secure and aesthetically pleasing.

On Site Laser Welding

Laser welding is a precise and efficient method used in jewelry repair, resizing, and customization.
Laser welding utilizes a focused laser beam to join metal parts together. It is particularly useful for delicate or intricate jewelry pieces, as it minimizes the heat-affected zone and reduces the risk of damage to surrounding areas. The laser welding process is highly precise, allowing for seamless repairs and modifications with minimal visible marks or discoloration.

Pearl Re-string

Pearl restringing service involves the process of replacing the string or thread that holds pearls together in a necklace, bracelet, or other jewelry pieces. Over time, the original string may weaken, stretch, or become worn, posing a risk of breakage and potential loss of pearls.
During the restringing process, the old string is carefully removed, and each pearl is individually inspected for any damage or imperfections. The pearls are then rethreaded onto a new, high-quality string, taking into consideration the desired length and spacing between each pearl. Knots are typically tied between each pearl to prevent them from rubbing against each other and minimize the risk of loss if the string were to break.
Professional pearl restringing ensures the longevity and security of your pearl jewelry. It is recommended to have pearls restrung every few years or if you notice any signs of wear or damage to the existing string.

Jewlery Polishing and Restoration

Jewelry polishing service involves the process of restoring the shine and luster of jewelry pieces.
