Step #1 Raw Material Sourcing
The first step in making brass jewelry is sourcing high-quality brass alloys, typically a mixture of copper and zinc. The composition of the alloy plays a vital role in determining the durability and color of the jewelry. Suppliers are carefully selected to ensure that quality standards are met. Sourcing the right materials sets the stage for a successful creative process.
Step #2 Design Creation
The craftsman starts the process by sketching or digitally creating an intricate design. Attention to detail is key to ensuring that each piece of jewelry meets the desired specifications. The design phase also involves client consultation to finalize custom features. Each design serves as a blueprint for subsequent manufacturing steps.
Step #3 Wax Models
Wax models of the design drawings are meticulously crafted to serve as prototypes for the final brass piece. Rexjewel prides itself on its unparalleled mold precision and quality. These molds are then inspected to ensure that they meet the design specifications. Any discrepancies are immediately corrected before proceeding.
Step #4 Casting
The brass alloy is carefully melted and then precisely poured into the wax mold. Once the metal solidifies, the wax mold is removed to reveal a rough piece of brass. The casting process is critical, as any mistakes can compromise the final product. There is no room for error in casting; this is where the skills of our artisans truly shine. The artisans ensure that each casting is a perfect match to the design blueprint.
Step #5 Polishing and Finishing
After casting, each brass piece undergoes a rigorous polishing process to remove any surface imperfections. For example, the artisan may use sandpaper of varying grits to achieve a smoother surface. Polishing and other finishing techniques can enhance the shine of the jewelry. The ultimate goal is to produce a piece that is both beautiful and durable.
Step #6 Quality Control
The final step is a comprehensive quality control inspection to ensure that each product meets industry standards. From material quality to design accuracy, every aspect is scrutinized. Substandard products are returned for rework or discarded to maintain high standards. Only products that pass these rigorous inspections are allowed to enter the market.
