From Gold to the Rest: Selecting Materials

Gold Karat: 10K, 14K, 18K or 22K depending on durability and look.
Gemstones: If your design includes stones, you’ll select size, type and cut.

Bringing It to Life CAD Design and Wax Modeling
After finalizing the concept, the next stage is to turn the design a 3D model using computer-aided design (CAD) software. That allows you to see your necklace from all sides.
Why CAD Matters:
- Offers a photorealistic 3D model of your piece.
- Easier to implement changes before going to production.
- Provides precision in the measurements and also symmetry.
Once approved in CAD, we make a wax model so that you have a physical version of your bespoke design rock before casting.
