Jewellery making is a fascinating craft that requires skill, creativity, and patience. From the initial design concept to the finished piece, there are several steps involved in the jewellery making process. In this blog post, we will take a behind-the-scenes look at the process we took to create every piece of jewellery you see at Her Jewellery.

Design

The jewellery making process begins with the design. This can be done by hand or using computer-aided design software. The designer creates a sketch or a digital rendering of the piece, considering the materials, style, and functionality.

Material

Once the design is finalized, the materials are chosen. This can include precious metals such as gold or silver, gemstones, pearls, and other decorative elements. The materials are carefully selected based on their quality, size, and shape.

Model Making

In order to create a physical representation of the design, a model or prototype is created. This can be done using wax, clay, or another material. The model is then used to create a mold for the final piece.

Casting

The casting process involves pouring molten metal into the mold to create the basic shape of the piece. The metal is then cooled and polished to remove any imperfections.

Stone Setting

If the piece includes gemstones or pearls, they are carefully set into the metal using prongs, bezels, or other techniques. This requires precision and attention to detail to ensure that the stones are securely held in place.

Finishing

The final step in the jewellery making process is finishing. This involves polishing, buffing, and adding any final decorative elements such as engraving or plating. The piece is then inspected for quality and any final adjustments are made.

As you can see, creating a piece of jewellery is a complex and detailed process that requires a combination of technical skills and artistic vision. From the initial design concept to the finished piece, every step is important to ensure that the final product is of the highest quality. Understanding the process behind jewellery creation will help you appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship that goes into each piece.
