Gold Jewellery Manufacturing Process
Step-1
Receiving the 24 Karat Bullion at our authorised premises
Step-2
24 Karat Bullion is mixed with alloys like silver and copper to get the desired purity level
Step-3
The 24 Karat purity gold is put into carbon crucibles and then melted at approx. 1150 degrees celcius in furnace.
Step-4
Once the gold melts into liquid, it is poured from the carbon crucibles into special containers, to cool and harden into strips of desired purity.
Step-5
Quality control – QC is done to check purity level.
Step-6
The strip is then passed on to skilled karigars for making of different components like wires, plates, pipes etc.
Step-7
Thinner wires are drawn as per requirement.
Step-8
Production manager distributes the components weight wise to different karigars as per design.
Step-9
Designers sit with the manufacturing dept. to discuss finalized designs. The designs are as per orders and as per research feedback on latest trends forecasting.
Step-10
From the plates, thinner plates are cut as per design, from the wires hollow and solid balls, collets, chains, screws, dies and mountings are made and from the pipes colets are made. These components as per design. The designing department gives the designs to the manufacturing dept., as per orders.
Step-11
All the different components are set on moulding wax and given a definite shape as per design.
Step-12
Quality Control – QC is done by the QC team alongwith designers to check for accuracy of design and manufacturing.
Step-13
From the moulding wax, the components are transferred on plaster of paris and allowed to harden.
Step-14
The different components now set in plaster of paris cast are shouldered and joined on the reverse with gold wires.
Step-15
The pieces are taken off from the plaster of paris mould and given for acid washing. In this process the surface gets cleaned of any impurities. The pieces are washed and put in Magnetic Polisher.
Step-16
The pieces are further put in Vibrating Polisher for a better shine. This stage polishes the rearside and other non-reachable corners of the piece and give the pieces a better look. Finally the pieces are buffed and polished to give the pieces the glitter and shine.
Step-17
The pieces are weighed by the production manager to ascertain polishing & manufacturing loss.
Step-18
Quality Control – QC is done for design, finish, polishing and purity.
Step-19
The final approved pieces are hallmarked and stamped for purity and branding.
Step-20
Quality Control -Finally the pieces are checked and re-checked for any manufacturing defects by the quality control department. The designing dept. also plays a role during final approval of the finished piece.
Step-21
The final pieces are ready for onward dispatch.
