From specification to finished jewelry

A clear jewelry manufacturing process starts with a shared brief. The sequence and checks are agreed for the selected design.

The stages shown are a process overview; special operations and any partner involvement require project-specific confirmation.

Review your process

01
Material intake
Begin the jewelry production process with the agreed metal, pearl or diamond specification. Identify the dimensions, finish and destination-market requirements that need review before work begins.
Confirm: material selection, component dimensions and order quantities.
02
Jewelry casting and setting
Review casting and stone setting against the approved drawing, with process responsibility agreed for the order. The construction and setting route depend on the design and the selected stone specification.
Confirm: drawing reference, setting structure and gemstone requirements.
03
Jewelry polishing and plating
Polishing and any plating should follow the agreed surface reference, with the process scope and responsible workshop confirmed before production. Agree on the plating material, color and thickness for the selected design rather than assuming a standard across all styles.
Confirm: plating material, color, thickness and the approved finish reference for the selected design.
04
Pearl assembly
Define pearl and jewelry assembly in the supply scope, including the components supplied by each party and the workshop responsible for assembly. Review pearl shape, diameter and drilling requirements against the setting before agreeing on the finished design.
Confirm: pearl type, shape, measured dimensions, drilling and assembly requirements for the selected design.
05
Jewelry QC inspection and packing
Agree who performs the final inspection and what evidence is required before dispatch. Define the dimensions, stone security, surface finish and packing checks that apply to your order before production.
Confirm: inspection criteria, individual protection, labels and outer packing for the order before production.
