Share drawings, references or existing pieces, with notes on what you want to retain or change.
Craftsmanship
Jewellery construction and finishing.
Design judgment, material knowledge and careful finishing come together in jewelry made for your collection.
From your idea to a finished piece
Resolve the construction before production.
A beautiful reference is only the beginning. Turning it into wearable jewelry means considering how the stone sits, how the metal supports it and how the piece feels in the hand.
At Caratcube, custom manufacturing brings those choices into one conversation. We work with retailers, designers and brands to develop gold and sterling silver jewelry around a clear brief.
A closer look at the making
An idea takes form.
- 01
Understand the design
We begin with the piece you want to create: its proportions, intended wearer, material choices and budget. A sketch, reference image or CAD file gives the discussion a clear starting point.
- 02
Resolve the construction
Dimensions, stone sizes and setting details need to work together. Design development is the time to discuss fit, structural details and the appearance you want to achieve.
- 03
Shape the metal
For cast designs, a model establishes the form before it is translated into metal. The resulting casting requires careful preparation and refinement before setting and finishing.
- 04
Set the stones
A setting must complement the stone while holding it securely. Alignment, spacing and the treatment of each prong or edge affect the character of the finished piece.
- 05
Refine the finish
Surface preparation and polishing bring the design into focus. The aim is a considered finish that respects the contours, edges and details of the piece.
- 06
Review against the brief
The finished design should be considered as a whole: dimensions, stone arrangement, surface finish and the details agreed for the order. Any specific inspection requirements belong in the original brief.
The final details
Look closer. There is more to consider.
The quality of a piece is read in its smallest details. Explore the considerations we encourage you to include in your brief.
A balanced frame for the stone.
Discuss the setting style, stone height and prong appearance alongside the stone itself. These choices influence both the visual balance and the everyday wear of the piece.
A finish that follows the design.
High polish and textured surfaces create different characters. Specify your preferred finish and which areas it should cover, especially when a design combines contrasting surfaces.
Details that work together.
Band width, metal thickness and stone dimensions should be considered together. Share the size and intended fit so design development can address the complete piece.
Made around your collection
A clear brief makes room for better work.
Tell us what matters to your customer. We can then discuss the practical choices behind the design, from materials and quantities to development and delivery expectations.
Your material choices
Specify gold purity and color or sterling silver, alongside natural diamonds, lab-grown diamonds or moissanite.
Your commercial priorities
Include your planned quantities, budget range and target date so the discussion addresses your business as well as the design.
