1. Creativity afloat and design on paper
Each design is ours and unique. After having a theme in mind and feeling inspired, we pick up a pencil and paper and let our creativity flow. No limits, no judgment. We draw and manage collections that have a purpose, that tell stories, and that connect.
2. We ground the designs in something material
Many of our designs don't make the cut. We must select those that can truly be brought to life in wax molds or 3D models, considering design, ergonomics, and functionality. All of this is done in collaboration with artisans who have dedicated their lives to the art of goldsmithing.
3. Wax Molds
Using the lost-wax casting technique, artisans like Dani and Orfa will hand-carve all the designs in wax. It's one of the oldest jewelry-making techniques. This ensures that the designs are 100% organic and unique, and also that we provide work for people, not machines.
4. Metal casting
After several versions, we approved the final prototype, which is exactly (or better) what we had envisioned. Using the casting technique, the wax is melted and a rubber mold is created. This will serve as the basis for creating multiple units of the same design by making several copies of the mold and melting the metal (silver or bronze) to make the jewelry.
5. Final finishes and veneer
The jewelry is then washed, polished, and repaired before the bronze pieces are gold-plated. We ensure it's a 6-micron, 21kt gold plating to guarantee long-lasting color.
6. Quality control and final lacquering
Although this is done at each stage, at the end we re-examine each piece from every production run to ensure they are all in perfect condition. Those that pass inspection, typically 90%, undergo a final electrophoretic lacquering process to further enhance their shine and prevent any possible deterioration of the jewelry.
