Basic processes to make Jewellery:
“Jewellery”, when thinking about, eyes are sparkling like diamond, and if the jewellery with diamonds don’t have imagination for the happiness to have it. But, if you know after many processes done on metal pieces, the jewellery is become. Mainly jewellery made by Manual (hand made) or Casting machine made). The processes done on jewellery are here.
Art of Jewellery Designing: Before learn to make Jewellery; you have to get the knowledge of Jewellery Designing. Jewellery Designing is the process where you imagine the Jewellery before making and make (place) it on the paper. Jewellery designing is necessary because, to make an ornament you have a reference to make it.
Forging: Forging utilizes the malleable quality of metal which allows it to be hammered into various shapes. One of the advantages of this is the spring tension created by the hardening of the metal.
Sawing: Sawing is a technique; that can be mastered quickly, enabling you to saw precisely along any line or cut out any shape from metal piece.
Filing: Metal pieces are shaped bi files, curves are cut, contours rounded, edges beveled and planes smoothed. Filing is also used after sawing to refine forms or to correct them where necessary.
Drilling the holes for the stones: To drilling the holes for the stones for appropriate size; always make the starting from the centre hole. A most important thing for drilling the stones is that the hole must be bigger in front side & must be smaller at the back side, because it gives support to the stone. The stones should be fall if the holes were made in the vertical sides. To put stone properly, the top hole should be made sufficiently large.
Drilling the holes for the diamonds: Before to drill the holes for diamonds; we can mark out the place where we drill. The process of drilling the holes for the diamonds is based on the size of the diamonds. The back of the holes should be neat but in simple pattern. The value of this process is costly but a little extra time spent on this process, it gives a good finishing.

Soldering: The method used to unit metal surfaces by heat and solder is called soldering. There are different types of solder used to solder jewellery. Lower purity metals, silver, copper or cadmium are mainly used. In diamond jewellery manufacturing the process of soldering is generally used soft soldering is quite different from silver soldering and gold soldering. In jewellery manufacturing, there is no place for soft soldering except it is used in minor parts of some jewellery. It is widely used in some kinds of repairing of jewellery.
Cleaning: Surfaces that are to be soldered together must be perfectly clean. All traces of grease, dirt or fingerprints must be removed in order for the solder to flow properly.
Mounting: The actual article which is made from the precious metal and suits the diamonds or gemstones in the article is called mounting of jewellery.
Enamelling: Enamelling is the technique; which is applied on ornamental pieces since many years ago. In ancient time, people from northern India, Egypt and Greek are used this method to make ornaments colourful. In enamel finely ground powered glass is fused on to a metal base. When heated, the powder of enamel will melt and fuse to the metal to produce richly coloured pieces of jewellery. Three types of Enamel used on jewellery. Enamel is available in transparent and non-transparent.
Buffing: Final finishing is the last step for jewellery making. But, before setting all the scratch marks, excess solder and surface blemishes are removed with fine files and emery cloth or in machine. This process is called Buffing.
Setting: In the finished product where the stone is actually brought in their appropriate place is called setting.
Polishing: To apply the final finish to the pieces is the last basic step in jewellery making.
Surface Treatment: Jewellery made by the basic processes given above, but to give it a smarten look the surface treatment is given. Many different techniques used to decorate the surface.
- Hammering: by using hammer, many different textures will made on jewellery surface.
- Engraving: this technique is used to cuts or incises lines into the surface of metal.
- Etching: this technique which produces a relief design to the surface of the metal by means of acid and an acid resist is easier to master than engraving, but certainly no less effective.
- Embossing: the process to emboss a different designs or textures on metal pieces.
- Sand Blasting: to make the metal surface grainy, l
