Step By Step
-
CAD Modeling
Outlines of forms are extruded to become templates for jewelry. All designing are created using Rhino3D.
-
3D Printing
The extruded forms are printed to create cutouts. This ensures form continuity.
-
Rough Cuts
The 3D printed cutouts are used to cut away forms from clay slabs.
-
Bisque Fire
After the clay dries, it is fired to cone 04.
-
Sanding
All jewelry is either sanded by hand or with a Dremel to remove any sharp edges.
-
Glaze Fire + Luster Painting
The jewelry is glazed and fired to cone 6. After the glaze firing, pieces are accented with a 22k gold Premium Luster, White Gold luster, or Mother of Pearl luster.
-
Luster Fire
After the luster dries for 24h, the jewelry is slow fired to cone 018. This is the final firing.
-
Creating Components
Jump rings and ear wires are handmade with the help of step mandrels and custom 3D printed templates to ensure quality and continuity among pieces. Any chains are prefabricated and assembled between jump rings and ear wires.
-
Final Assembly
Backing cards are individually embossed and punched for jewelry placement. After pairs have been set on their backing card they're ready for shipping!
