Step-by-Step On How We Make Our Custom Jewelry Designs

STEP#1 Sketching Idea

From Vision to Paper

The custom design process begins with a hand-drawn sketch of your idea, including basic details like ring size, center stone, and metal type. This helps both the customer and designer visualize the concept and define key specifications.

The sketch serves two purposes:

  1. To provide you with a visual preview of your piece

  2. To guide the jeweler through the creation process

At this stage, designs can be easily modified based on your preferences before moving forward.

STEP#2 CAD Process

Precision Meets Possibility

We transfer your idea into a CAD program, allowing for highly detailed and precise 3D modeling. This technology enables us to apply exact measurements, stone placements, and structural elements that bring your vision to life.

The digital model reflects all customer specifications, and adjustments can still be made at this stage to ensure your complete satisfaction before moving on to production.

STEP#3 Jewelry Rendering

See It Before It’s Made

Using Computer-Aided Design (CAD), we create a detailed, photo-realistic rendering of your custom piece — allowing you to visualize the final design before production begins.

Our designer will review every detail with you and make any necessary revisions to ensure it’s exactly what you want. Once approved, your design moves forward to the final creation stage.

STEP#4 Wax (Milling) Procedure

Precision in 3D Form

Once the design is approved, we create a wax model using the Revo 540 Multi-Axis Milling System, built to integrate seamlessly with our Gemvision Matrix CAD software.

This step allows us to produce a highly accurate physical model of your piece — milled in-house with speed and precision — and prepares it for the casting stage.

STEP#5 Wax Investment

Lost Wax Casting Process

After the wax model is complete, it’s attached to a casting tree using wax sprues. The assembly is placed in a flask and filled with high-grade investment material to capture every detail.

Once set, the flask is heated in a kiln to burn out the wax — a method known as lost wax casting — leaving a precise mold ready for metal casting. This step ensures clean, accurate results for the final piece.

Before curing, the investment-filled flask is placed in a vacuum chamber to eliminate any trapped air bubbles. This ensures a smooth, detailed mold, resulting in a flawless casting of your custom piece.

STEP#6 Wax Burn Out

Once the investment hardens, the rubber sprue base is removed and the flask is placed into a high-temperature oven. This incinerates the wax, leaving behind a clean, detailed cavity — fully prepared for the casting process.

The flask is placed in a specialized burnout oven, where the wax is incinerated at temperatures up to 1550°F over 12 to 16 hours, leaving a precise mold for casting.

Once burnout is complete, no wax residue remains — only a hollow mold of the original design. This cavity is then filled with molten gold, platinum, or silver, forming the final piece in the metal of your choice.

STEP#7 Melting & Casting Procedure

Casting is the process of pouring molten metal into a mold where it cools and solidifies into the desired shape. In fine jewelry, this is most commonly done using the lost wax casting method for precise, detailed results.

The opening in the flask, where the wax was burned out, is aligned with the crucible spout. Once the metal reaches the proper casting temperature, the centrifuge is released, forcing molten gold into the flask’s cavity — filling the mold with precision and speed.

Once the flask cools, the hardened metal is carefully removed from the investment and clipped from the casting tree. The result is a fully formed piece in the selected metal — ready for cleaning, polishing, and finishing.

STEP#8 Final Process

Once the flask cools, the hardened metal is carefully removed from the investment and clipped from the casting tree. The result is a fully formed piece in the selected metal — ready for cleaning, polishing, and finishing.

Our skilled jewelers use advanced tools and techniques to complete the final touches — including stone or diamond setting, detailing, and expert polishing. The piece is then thoroughly inspected to ensure quality before being presented to the customer in its finished, flawless form.
