Process

GEMSETTING

A process of precision and patience; it is crucial that the jeweller spends a considerable amount of time on this process as to ensure that each gem is set flawlessly in order to minimise the risk of becoming loose. Various gemsetting techniques, from pavé setting, channel setting and pressure setting, ensure that precious gems light up each exceptional creation in it's own unique way.  

Process

POLISHING

Through years of experience, an artisan jeweller develops polishing techniques that magically unlock the beautiful lustre of a precious metal. The polishing process begins by ridding the piece of any obvious imperfections. The use of buffing wheels lathered with abrasive compounds are then used to shape and correctly contour surfaces before the jewel enters it's final stage, where the use of a finer polishing medium reveals the metals brilliant shine.

Process

ASSEMBLY

 As each set of decorated components is completed, they progress to the assembly stage to undergo the painstaking process of being precisely fixed together. This union rapidly reveals the magnificent glory of each creation as it comes to life. 

Process

QUALITY CONTROL

Integrity guides our pursuit of ensuring that only a completely flawless jewel leaves the workshop. The jewels, being made entirely by hand, are continuously assessed by the artisans as they proceed through each stage of manufacturing, subsequently reducing the potential for any flaws reaching the final quality control inspection; a process of visually inspecting each creation with an eye loupe, allowing the jeweller to identify any physical or functional flaws.
