At Custom Jewellery Designs in Hillarys, Perth, every piece begins as a spark of inspiration and evolves through a meticulous sequence of craft-led steps. From the first sketch to the final polish, this journey blends artistry, precision, and time-honored techniques to create wearable masterpieces.
1. Designing the Dream
Every creation starts with a concept. Designers sketch ideas by hand or in CAD software, refining proportions, textures, and settings until the vision feels just right. This blueprint dictates every subsequent stage, ensuring that the final piece matches both creative intent and wearer’s comfort.
2. Making the Model
Once the design is locked in, a model must be produced. Guild artisans carve a master pattern from wax or resin, faithfully replicating every curve and flourish. This model serves as the template for casting, guaranteeing consistent, high-fidelity results each time.
3. Lost-Wax Casting: A Timeless Technique
Lost-wax casting remains the cornerstone of fine jewelry production. The process unfolds in stages:
1. Embedding the wax model in a refractory investment.
2. Heating the mold until the wax melts away, leaving a precise cavity.
3. Pouring molten metal into the void that once housed the wax replica.
This method captures the finest details and delivers exceptional surface quality.
4. Finishing: Grinding, Polishing, and Quality Control
After casting, each piece undergoes refinement. Sharp sprues and casting nubs are ground away with polishing machines, smoothing rough edges without sacrificing detail. Artisans then hand-polish surfaces to a brilliant luster, using a sequence of abrasive compounds and brushes. Finally, quality control inspectors scrutinize every facet, ensuring proper dimensions, flawless finishes, and secure settings before approving the piece for wear.
5. From Workshop to Wardrobe
With production complete, your custom piece is cleaned, hallmarked, and packaged in signature Custom Jewellery Designs branding. Whether you’ve chosen a family heirloom redesign or a one-of-a-kind engagement ring, each item reflects the precision and passion poured into its making.
