1. Manuscript Designs: Setting the Vision
Our journey begins with the spark of inspiration and creativity. Our talented designers sketch out manuscript designs that capture the essence of our jewellery. These initial drawings serve as the foundation upon which our jewellery story unfolds.
2. Computer Graphics: Precision in Every Line
From the manuscript designs, we transition into the digital realm. Using cutting-edge computer-aided design software, we transform these sketches into intricate computer graphics. This digital precision allows us to visualise and refine every detail.
3. Mould Unloading: Translating Graphics to Reality
With our graphic files in hand, we create moulds that replicate our jewellery designs. Mould unloading marks the moment when these moulds are carefully opened to reveal the first physical representations of our jewellery concepts.
4. Wax Injection: The Wax Canvas
Wax injection is where the magic truly begins. Molten wax is injected into the moulds, crafting wax patterns that mirror our jewellery pieces. These wax patterns are like canvases upon which we'll bring the Zostma vision to life.
5. Wax Check: Perfection in Wax
Each wax pattern undergoes a meticulous inspection, ensuring that it is free from any imperfections. Any anomalies are addressed to guarantee that our jewellery starts its journey flawlessly.
6. Wax Setting: Gemstone Brilliance
Now, the stage is set to enhance our jewellery with the brilliance of gemstones and crystals. Every stone and crystal is painstakingly set into the wax patterns, ensuring a secure and stunning fit.
7. Wax Pattern: Ready for Transformation
With gemstones and crystals set, the wax patterns are ready to be transformed into the dazzling jewellery pieces that grace our collection.
8. Foundry Casting: The Birth of Metal
Our wax patterns are encased in a casting investment material and heated, melting the wax and leaving behind a cavity in the exact shape of our jewellery.
9. Teeming Mould: Liquid Metal Artistry
Molten metal, carefully chosen for each piece, is poured into the prepared flask. This liquid metal fills the cavities and transforms into the metal foundation of our jewellery.
10. Harmonise Mould: Crafting Perfection
The cast metal pieces are gently removed from the flask, and any remaining investment material is removed, revealing the raw beauty of our jewellery.
11. Grinding and Polishing: Refinement and Radiance
To achieve the impeccable finish that defines Zostma, our artisans expertly polish and refine each piece, ensuring a smooth and flawless surface.
12. IPQC (In Process Quality Control): Exceeding Standards
Throughout the production process, our jewellery undergoes rigorous quality control checks to guarantee that it meets the high standards that define our brand.
13. Dressing Stone: The Artisan's Touch
Skilled hands add the final touches, performing intricate detailing and stone setting that elevate our jewellery to unparalleled levels of craftsmanship.
14. Electroplating: The Shimmer of Luxury
We meticulously clean each piece through ultrasonic cleaning. Then, our artisans apply three layers of precious metal during electroplating. This not only boosts luster but also guarantees extraordinary durability for your Zostma jewellery pieces.
15. Electroplating Inspection: A Gleaming Finish
Each piece undergoes a final inspection after electroplating to ensure even plating and impeccable quality.
16. Packaging: The Finishing Touch
Once our jewellery has passed all quality checks, it is carefully packaged in our signature packaging, ready to be cherished by its future owner.
17. Sending to Customers: A Journey of Elegance
Finally, our completed jewellery is sent out to our valued customers and retailers, where it will be worn, adored, and celebrated.
At Zostma, we believe that jewellery is not just an accessory; it's a work of art. Our production process is a testament to the care, precision, and love that goes into creating each piece. We hope that every Zostma jewel you wear brings a touch of elegance and a sense of the extraordinary to your life.
Elevate your style, embrace the artistry, and experience the elegance of Zostma, where dreams shine in every design.
