We are ready to render the piece based on the choices you desire. A platinum and diamond ring on snow or a platinum and rose gold pendant with tsavorites and pink diamonds on burl wood, either way your customer or board members will be amazed and delighted.After the image is approved we then "grow" the wax jewelery model on one of our two in-house rapid prototyping solid wax modeling machine. Unlike other processes like milling machines we are able to grow models that have undercuts, thin wires, beads and even hollow areas. All this is done with the industries best detail. For those of you who want to send us your STL files we can suggest the best STL settings. Everything is down in house. This way you file is secure, we will either save your file in a password protected area, write you a disk and delete or completely delete. The finished model, if desired, can then be inspected. Any design or size changes can be done rapidly saving time and money.The model is then ready for the casting process. We use precise digitally controlled electric burnout ovens. We have co-developed a special burnout cycle to constantly provide porosity free, crisp and clean castings. Using a magnetic barrel tumbler will pre-finish your casting. If your jewelry design calls for multiple pieces or two tones the goldsmith or platinumsmiths will assemble and prepare the piece for the setter. If you supplied your own stones we will have them set them in the correct manner. If you ordered stones from us we set those in the correct manner. The jewelry is now ready for the finisher, probably the most important person in the shop. He alone has the final important job of making it shine before you see it!The prices will vary according to the complexity and size of your design.
