06

Prototyping & production

Vacuum & pressure casting

  1. 1Metal melted under inert gas
  2. 2Vacuum pulls metal into the mould
  3. 3Dense casting, ready to finish

Casting under vacuum and a controlled atmosphere reduces porosity for denser metal.

07

Prototyping & production

Rubber moulds & wax injection

  1. 1Master set in a rubber mould
  2. 2Wax injected under vacuum
  3. 3Identical waxes for production

One approved master becomes a mould for consistent, repeatable production waxes.

08

Prototyping & production

CNC machining

  1. 1Toolpath generated from CAD
  2. 2The cutter shapes the band
  3. 3A precise, repeatable profile

Computer-controlled cutting for precise bands, profiles and engraved detail.

09

Prototyping & production

Die-striking

  1. 1Metal blank placed on the die
  2. 2The press strikes
  3. 3Dense, crisp detail

A hardened die stamps metal under high pressure for dense, crisp pieces.

10

Prototyping & production

Electroforming

  1. 1A form is coated to conduct
  2. 2Metal grows in the bath
  3. 3A light, hollow piece

Metal is grown onto a form in a plating bath, creating large, lightweight hollow pieces.

11

Prototyping & production

Fibre-laser cutting

  1. 1Pattern sent from CAD
  2. 2The laser cuts the sheet
  3. 3Fine pierced detail

A fine laser cuts lace-like patterns and pierced details from sheet metal.

03 · Surface & finishing

Finishes that last.

Coatings and finishing processes for colour, protection and an even polish across production.

12

Surface & finishing

PVD coating

  1. 1Pieces loaded into the chamber
  2. 2Vapour bonds a colour layer
  3. 3A durable colour finish

A thin, hard colour layer bonded in a vacuum chamber for durable demi-fine colours.

13

Surface & finishing

Anti-tarnish coating

  1. 1Silver cleaned and prepared
  2. 2A clear protective layer applied
  3. 3Stays bright for longer

A clear protective layer helps silver stay bright for longer.

14

Surface & finishing

Magnetic & barrel finishing

  1. 1Pieces loaded with fine media
  2. 2Magnets spin the media
  3. 3An even polish on every piece

Tumbling with fine pins or media polishes many pieces evenly, including hard-to-reach areas.

15

Surface & finishing

Ultrasonic cleaning

  1. 1Piece placed in the bath
  2. 2Vibration lifts residue
  3. 3Clean settings for inspection

High-frequency vibration lifts polishing residue out of settings before inspection.

04 · Verification & quality

Verified, not assumed.

Instrument-based checks for metal, stones, dimensions and material safety.

16

Verification & quality

XRF metal analysis

  1. 1Piece placed under the analyser
  2. 2X-rays read the composition
  3. 3Fineness confirmed, e.g. 750

X-ray fluorescence measures metal composition, confirming fineness before hallmarking.

17

Verification & quality

Diamond screening

  1. 1Stones loaded for screening
  2. 2Each stone is analysed
  3. 3Sorted by type

Screening instruments separate natural, laboratory-grown and simulant stones.

18

Verification & quality

Digital microscopy & optical measurement

  1. 1Piece under the digital microscope
  2. 2Key points measured
  3. 3Results recorded

High-magnification imaging and measurement record quality and dimensions.

19

Verification & quality

Nickel-release testing

  1. 1Sample prepared for testing
  2. 2Tested against market limits
  3. 3Result documented

Pieces are tested against the nickel-release limits of the target market.

05 · Traceability

Every piece, accounted for.

Identification and records that connect a finished piece to its stones, metal and production.

20

Traceability

Laser girdle inscription

  1. 1Stone positioned under the laser
  2. 2A serial inscribed on the girdle
  3. 3Readable under magnification

A microscopic number inscribed on the girdle makes a stone identifiable.

21

Traceability

Digital product passport

  1. 1A tag is added to the piece
  2. 2A phone scans the tag
  3. 3Its record appears

A QR or NFC tag links a piece to its materials and production record.

22

Traceability

Responsible sourcing records

  1. 1Metal sourced from the refiner
  2. 2Tracked through production
  3. 3Documented for the brand

Recycled metal and supplier records support sustainability claims.

Technologies are applied in-house or with specialist partners, depending on the project. Availability, scope and any testing or certification are confirmed during the brief.
