How is jewelry making done?
What is the specific process of making jewelry? I am very interested in jewelry design, but I don’t know much about it. I hope you all know how to make up for me. The first step: design drawings. The designer will first conceive a new work sketch on paper. What is the specific process of making jewelry with pencil and water? I am very interested in jewelry design, but I don’t know much about it. I hope you all know how to make up for me. The first step: design drawings The designer will first draw and conceive a new work sketch on paper, and complete the design draft with pencil and gouache. This process takes as little as a few days and a half months, and as many as a few months before a model is finalized. Step 2: Manually engrave the wax plate (from the computer CAD version) craftsmen refer to the design drawings to hand-carve the wax plate. This is the most demanding process in the jewelry making process. The wax plate must be smooth and clean, and the structure of each part is reasonable. The location and size of the inlaid gemstones are accurate. (This process depends on the degree of complexity, ranging from a day or two to as many as a few days) This is a fine work. With the development of technology, there are fewer and fewer handmade jewelry, and most of them use computer CAD software for drawing. But for some special-shaped or animal-shaped jewelry, a good master will still choose a hand-carved version. After all, the carved things have feelings! The third step: Inverted mold The ancient lost wax casting method, the wax mold is made into an 18K ring. If it is mass production, then the wax plate in front will be made into a silver plate and pressed into an adhesive film to mass produce wax molds! But for customization, only one piece is made for each item, so go directly to the moulding process and plant wax trees first. 1. Plant a wax tree each wax ring is individually welded to a wax stick by hand, and finally a wax tree with a shape similar to a big tree is obtained, ready for casting. 2. Gypsum filling Put the planted wax tree and the base plate on the stainless steel tube, and slowly inject the corresponding weight of gypsum slurry along the inner wall of the steel tube, without the wax tree, leave it for 6-12 hours after vacuuming to make the gypsum solidification. 3. Baking gypsum Baking gypsum molds for dewaxing, drying and casting heat preservation. 4. Casting Take out the baked plaster mold, and at the same time prepare the metal solution that needs to be poured. Pour the melted gold water from the nozzle. 5. Frying, washing and cleaning of plaster molds The plaster molds after casting are in a high temperature state, and after being taken out from the casting machine, they are naturally placed for 10-30 minutes, and then placed in cold water for frying and washing. After the gypsum bursts due to shrinkage, take out the golden tree, brush off the large pieces of gypsum with a steel brush, soak in 30% hydrofluoric acid for 10 minutes, and rinse after clamping to remove the remaining gypsum until the surface of the golden tree is clean. 6. Cut the casting Cut the jewelry on the golden tree along the bottom of the nozzle to dry. The fourth step: the mold is all done manually, and the special knife is used to push the jewelry back and forth on the surface of the jewelry. This process requires certain techniques and techniques. Step 5: Matching the stone According to the jewelry design drawings, manually sort the diamonds or gems, pick out the suitable color, cut, and size, and prepare for inlay. The sixth step: inlay gems each diamond and gemstone are set by hand. Micro setting, this is a technical job, setting gems under a magnifying glass dozens of times! Seventh step: polishing, electro-gold further polish the metal surface and details. Some jewelry needs to be electro-gold to make the surface smoother! Step 8: Quality inspection Inspect the finished jewellery. If it fails, return it to the previous process and make it again. The above is just to show some important links in the process of making a piece of jewelry. In fact, there are still many processes. Customizing jewellery is not about making mud, place an order today and want to ship tomorrow. Waiting slowly, a perfect work will come out.
