The Sketch

Almost all jewelry begins with a sketch of the piece. The most important stage in the jewelry-making process is the design or CAD drawing, which serves as the final blueprint for the entire creation. Every subsequent process revolves around this stage. As no editing is possible later on, we place great emphasis on getting it right the first time. Designs are often drawn from multiple perspectives to ensure accuracy, as jewelry is inherently three-dimensional in concept.

02

The Rubber Mold

The rubber mold is crafted from the cam piece as per the CAD design. The original model is encased in a plaster-like investment, specially formulated for jewelry making.

03

The Wax Model

In this stage, the wax mold is crafted in accordance with the rubber mold. The sketched design is carefully carved into shape using special jeweler's wax. This model must be perfect and flawless in every detail, as the final piece will only be as good as the model itself.

04

The Gold Tree

Once the casting is complete, the "fruits" of the jewelry — the gold pieces — are now ready for further assembly.

05

Assembly & Crafting

Once all the jewelry pieces are cast and pre-polished, they move to the assembly stage. By carefully joining all the individual components, the pieces are crafted into the final shape, reflecting the original design. At this stage, the jewelry is complete in form but without the stones.

06

The Wax Tree

The wax model, made from the rubber mold, will now be joined together and formed into a wax tree.

07

The Plaster Mould

The wax tree is placed into a plaster vessel and then heated in a furnace, causing the wax to melt. After heating, the plaster hardens, taking the shape of the wax tree.

08

The Pour

Now, the plaster that has taken the shape of the wax tree is ready for casting. This will now be made into a Gold Tree.

09

Setting Gems

Now that the jewelry piece is pre-finished, it's time to add the sparkle. The jewelry then goes through the gem setting process, where exquisite, high-quality stones are used to enhance the appeal, lustre, and sparkle of the piece as it moves towards its final stages of creation. Gem setters are the skilled craftsmen who firmly capture the gems in the metal, ensuring each stone is perfectly placed to maximize its brilliance.
