Step 01Jewelry Design
The project begins with a sketch, reference image, product idea, or existing sample supplied by the buyer.
How a Custom Jewelry Project Moves Through Production
Follow the 18 key production and quality-control steps that move a custom jewelry project from design development to finished products ready for shipment.
Design and Pre-Production
- Step 01
Step 02CAD and 3D Modeling
The design is converted into a detailed CAD model to review its dimensions, proportions, stone positions, and structure.
Step 03Mold and Production Preparation
The approved CAD design is prepared for mold making, wax development, and the next production stage.
Wax Modeling, Casting and Initial Machine Finishing
Step 04Wax Carving and Model Refinement
The approved design is translated into a wax model and refined to confirm its shape, details, and casting readiness.
Step 05Metal Casting
The prepared wax model is converted into a metal jewelry component through the selected casting process.
Step 06Machine Polishing
Cast components receive initial machine polishing to remove rough surfaces and prepare them for detailed metal finishing.
Casting and Metal Preparation
Step 07Casting QC Inspection
Cast components are checked for deformation, cracks, incomplete areas, porosity, and visible structural defects.
Step 08Casting Cleanup and Metal Preparation
Excess metal and casting marks are removed before each component is shaped and prepared for further production.
Step 09Metal Preparation QC
Prepared components are inspected for shape, dimensions, joints, edges, and overall surface condition.
Stone Selection and Setting
Step 10Stone Selection
Stones are selected and matched according to the approved size, shape, color, and product specification.
Step 11Stone Setting
Selected stones are carefully positioned and secured according to the approved setting design.
Step 12Stone Setting QC
The setting is checked for stone security, alignment, spacing, matching, and visible tool marks.
Polishing and Surface Finishing
Step 13Polishing
Jewelry surfaces are refined to remove marks and achieve the approved polished, matte, brushed, or textured appearance.
Step 14Polishing QC Inspection
Polished pieces are inspected for scratches, uneven surfaces, damaged edges, and lost design details.
Step 15Plating
The approved plating or surface treatment is applied to create the required color and final appearance.
Final Inspection and Shipment
Step 16Plating QC Inspection
Plated jewelry is checked for color consistency, complete coverage, surface marks, and finish uniformity.
Step 17Final Product QC
Finished jewelry is reviewed for appearance, dimensions, function, stone security, finish, and overall consistency.
Step 18Packing and Shipment
Approved products are counted, individually protected, labeled, packed, and prepared for shipment.
