2. Jewelry Making Process
! Concept & Design
!
There is a concept behind every piece of jewelry we make and by concept
we mean, the rough design which comes to our minds. We create a sketch of t h e
rough design on paper and try to improve the designs by discussing it a m o n g
ourselves. We are inspired by traditional designs worn by princesses & q u e e n s o f
yore
!
! Curation
!
Once the final sketch is made, the design is etched on an industrial wax base
for further process. The design is then carefully created on the wax base by
placing the metal beads, chains or motifs as per the demands of the design. T h i s
process requires utmost skill as this is the most important aspect of handmade jewelry
making. The chief artisan is the principle curator for most of the new designs.
3. Jewelry Making Process
! Mold Making
Once the curation is done, Plaster of Paris is poured over wax base to build a solid mold.
Once the wax is removed, the mold holds the design inside it for further processes.
! Welding/Washing
The separate chains, beads or motifs are then welded together to create the unfinished
jewelry. Once the welding is completed the plaster mold is broken to retrieve the jewelry. The
jewelry is then washed and polished carefully to remove the dirt and rough parts.
! Plating
The unfinished jewelry is then gets electro plated to the shades of silver or gold according
to the design concept. Deliberate attention is paid to fabricating and polishing procedures
because it is vitally significant that the jewelry to be plated should be perfectly finished and
cleaned in advance.
