How your Sunehrie jewellery is made
Have you ever wondered how those bold necklaces and statement bangles come to life? Which kind of jewellery creates an instant effect when it walks into a room? People find these items appealing because they convey stories beyond their metallic composition. It is a story of craftsmanship, tradition, and fearless expression.
The method behind big gold jewellery creation involves more than a simple assembly of reflective materials. It’s an art. Designing begins with a sketch and evolves into a magnificent accessory that becomes a beautiful accessory for the neck or wrist. This article serves as a comprehensive guide that reveals the step-by-step manufacturing process of bold pieces starting from the beginning design phase until final creation.
Handcrafting Your Jewellery Design
Inspiration is where the magic starts! Our team of highly creative jewellery designers look for inspiration for anything that catches their eye, be it nature, the newest style trends or even astronomy and constellations. Once inspiration strikes, it’s straight to the drawing board from thereon. Starting with 2D sketches, the design idea moves to a digital medium and a 3D CAD model is formed. A comprehensive guide to diamond characteristics that will help you purchase the right brilliance at the right price.
Creating the wax model
Once the CAD prototype is finalized, it is sent to the jewellery workshop for the next stage of production. Here, skilled craftsmen begin by carving a wax model based on the digital design. This wax model acts as the physical blueprint of the jewellery piece before it is cast in metal.In many cases, craftsmen don’t create just one wax model at a time. Instead, they assemble multiple wax models of different designs onto a central stem, forming what is called a “Wax Tree.” This tree-like structure holds several wax pieces together, allowing them to be cast simultaneously.
Creating a Wax Tree serves two important purposes:
-
Efficiency: Multiple designs can be cast in a single process, saving time and resources.
-
Consistency: It ensures uniformity in the casting process across all pieces attached to the tree.
Once the Wax Tree is ready, it is placed inside a casting flask and covered with a special investment powder. After heating, the wax melts away, leaving behind hollow spaces in the exact shapes of the jewellery designs — a process known as lost-wax casting. These hollows are then filled with molten gold or silver, marking the true beginning of the jewellery manufacturing journey.
Moulding and Casting
These wax models are dipped into a specific material and baked at a high temperature causing the wax to melt and create a hollow mould. This process is called moulding. Once the mould is created, the choice of metal is filled into this mould in liquid form. After the casting process is complete, the metal is extracted through a vacuuming process and the raw form of the design is created.
Mounting the stone
The gemstone or diamond for jewellery making is now set on the metal using specialised tools. The proportions of the gem in relation to the metal quantity are predetermined during the jewellery designing process and so this is entirely a mechanical process that requires utmost precision.
Fine polishing
Once everything from metal to gemstone is in place, the design goes through a set of polishing processes. One of these processes includes rhodium plating which is done to protect the metal from getting scratches and keep the metal color bright and intact.
Certification
Each design made at Sunehrie goes through a plethora of Quality checks before it is certified by specialised certifiers like Solitaire Gemmological Laboratories (SGL), Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS HALLMARK), International Gemological Institute (IGI), Cambay Gemmological Lab (CGL) & Platinum Guild International (PGI).
Packaging
Packaging is essential and we make sure to pack each design with pure precision. The Sunehrie package you receive is a joy to unbox! From jewellery care tips, diamond quality certificate and ring-sizer kit, to the precious jewel handcrafted to delight you, unbox love with Sunehrie.
