My Story
I WE BEEN BORN TO A FAMILY OF EXTRAORDINARY CRAFTSMAN . SURROUNDED WITH SO MANY TALENTED PEOPLE GIVES ONE THE EDGE IN THIS BUSINESS.. STARTED THE JOURNEY MANY YEARS AGO. AS THE TIME PASSED BY SO DID FASHION , TOOLS AND THE TECHNIQUES OF HAND MAKING A MOUNTING , SETTING THE DIAMONDS OR GEMSTONES , POLISHING TO A HIGH LUSTER AND EVEN TAKING AN IMAGE .
FIRST STEP IN MY STUDIO IS USUALLY DRAWING AND PRE THINKING THE LAYOUT OF THE PIECE . DEPENDING ON THE LEVEL OF DETAIL THIS MIGHT TAKE ANYWHERE FROM AN HOUR TO A FEW DAYS ( FEW CUPS OF COFFEE HELPS ). SECOND STEP IS WAX MODEL . SOME I DO BY HAND SOME I DO BY CAD ON THE COMPUTER . ONCE THE WAX IS COMPLETE I GET A CLEAR PICTURE IN MY MIND WHICH DIRECTION TO GO. THE WAX IS THEN PUT IN TO A CASTING PROCESS WHERE HOT MOLTEN METAL IS POURED IN TO CAST FLASKS . THIS IS DONE IN EITHER 14 K WHITE OR YELLOW GOLD OR STERLING SILVER DEPENDING ON THE ORDER ( OR MY TASTE AT THAT MOMENT )
THEN THE CAST MODEL IS CLEANED UP AND REFINED WITH FILES , DIFFERENT GRADES OF SAND PAPER AND EMERY WHEELS THAT GET THE PIECE READY FOR SETTING THE GEMSTONES AND DIAMONDS. NEXT STEP REQUIRES THE MOST AMOUNT OF DETAIL AND PRECISION ( SELECTING PERFECT SIZE STONES AND SETTING ) THIS IS MY FAVORITE PART OF THE PROCESS . I WE BEEN FASCINATED WITH GEMS AND DIAMONDS MY WHOLE LIFE . SO MANY DIFFERENT COLORS AND SHAPES. EVERY STONE IS THEN SET MANUALLY ONE AT A TIME. FINAL PROCESS IS THE POLISHING . USING DIFFERENT BRUSHES AND BUFFERS , THE NEW ADDITION TO MY SHOWCASE IS POLISHED TO A GLEAMING SHINE . I AM BLESSED BECAUSE I DO WHAT MAKES ME HAPPY . I AM A JEWELRY DESIGNER
