By Shirley Carter


If you are in the process of starting a jewel line, there is a need to know how they are created so that you meet customer demands more effectively. Several methods are involved in making the final products. As long as the methods adhere to unique products are created, and this is what will bring customers to your shop.

Stone preparation kicks of the process of creating various jewels. Not every stone can be used in this process but those that are of right size and fits the design of products you intend to produce. Stones should be of good quality. After finding the perfect stones use various tools to smoothen them until they are super smooth. Both sizes should appear super soft, flat and similar to each other.

With stones ready, sketching the designs of models that one had thought of begins. Here one ought to be keen and do the job in a quiet environment to avoid disturbances which might result in errors. Also, a lot of time needs to be put when making the sketches.

After the sketched have been drawn carving of the stone should happen. Carving should be carried out using tools that are recommended for the process. Here useful tools include chisels, wood filed and sewing needles because they make the process much more manageable. There is a need to have this process correctly done because when mistakes are made there will be little room to correct them and there should be no air rooms left. Carving leaves space where silver fillings will be poured to get the desired model.

The next step is to carbonize the stone before silver is poured into it. The source of carbon should have no traces of oxygen at all. The two parts of stones should be bound together using rubber bands or clamps. Then a certain amount of silver is melted using a crucible and at a certain temperature. After the molted state has been achieved pouring it should take a little time, and if it is done in the right manner, it should fill the intended space.

The surface of these products is cleaned using sand. When sand is used in the cleaning process, it removes parts that are deemed unnecessary, and this does not affect the texture of these products. The other cleaning agents are citric pickling solutions which are also useful in making the surfaces appear clean. Cleaning is also aimed at getting rid of fire traces that sometimes are acquired when the soldiering process begins.

The most common ways to shine the designs involved the use of water, rubber and other recommended polishing compounds.

On completion of most processes, the products are almost ready for the market. Although they are available, there is room for designers to put various styles on them before they are sold. This can be done keeping mind your target market and what you intended to create. As much as other stages take a lot of time, sanding and polishing take the most time.
