Services
Lost Wax Casting
Our lost wax casting process creates intricate jewelry pieces using four specialized methods. We employ low-temperature casting for gold and silver, high-temperature techniques for platinum, bi-metal casting for multi-metal designs, and a proprietary shell casting method. Each approach ensures exceptional detail and durability while accommodating various production volumes and material requirements.
CAD CAM Mold Making
We transform conceptual ideas into precise digital models using industry-leading software. Our CAD services convert sketches or verbal descriptions into 3D designs, while CAM processes produce physical prototypes. With 10+ years of experience, we guarantee delivery within seven days, offering milling, wax printing, and direct metal machining options for optimal production flexibility.
Laser Welding
Our B&D ALS Laser system achieves spot welds as small as 0.2mm with unmatched precision. This technology enables heat-sensitive metal work, dissimilar metal bonding, and pure metallurgical joints without filler materials. The process eliminates discoloration while maintaining material integrity, ideal for repairing or assembling complex jewelry components.
Engraving
We offer both laser and hand engraving services for personalized jewelry. Our Rofin laser system provides mathematical precision for text, fonts, and images on curved or flat surfaces, while master artisans deliver traditional hand engraving. Capabilities include karat stamping, multi-line ring engravings, and custom image reproduction using digital file formats.
Finishing
Our finishing services range from raw casting preparation to complete hand polishing. Options include magnetic tumbling, burnishing, sprue removal, and machine polishing. We work with clients to select appropriate techniques for desired aesthetics, from industrial matte finishes to high-gloss retail-ready surfaces, ensuring optimal presentation for every jewelry piece.
