Our Services
Custom Design
You describe it, we can make it. Really! We have done casting, fabrication, granulation, and stone setting. We have worked with platinum, gold (18k and 22k), diamonds, and many types of gemstones.
- Casting: Making a mold for the piece, typically of wax
- Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM): Used to create three-dimensional (3-D) models and Cam to create the model
- Fabrication: Manual manipulation, like twisting wire made from a precious metal
- Granulation: Applying tiny spheres of gold (usually) to a surface
- Stone setting: Right, setting a gemstone into a piece of jewelry
