Jewelry has the abilty to design unique earrings, rings , pendants
,bracelets and plenty of other casting of jewelry components that our team
can combine in various ways. Thanks to our team and our program, we can
develop our customers’ desired collection super fast. Designing jewelry can
be cosidered as difficult task, due to the way the each individual model is
developed. Sterling Silver and Gold casting is not easy craft, where a lot
of knowledge, eexperience artistic, aesthetic and manual skills are
required. For sure, Karios Jewelry’s experience let our customers shorten
the process itself from the technical side, but the vision,idea and
inspiration are hard to measure and put into certain time frame. For that
reason, to have a individual and new view, for certain cases designs are
being created by at least few of designers. The designing is an on-going
process. The trials,tests, correction and improvements are continuously
carried out in Kairos Jewelry . Generally , improving a Project means
several hours of study for several days, which are required to get cloeser
with the initial design and make extra changes, if required. Later on this
stage, Kairos Jewelry send the customer 3D visualization. If our customer
is satisfied with the result , the model goes to print.
Start machining with integrated CAD/CAM
2- CAD/CAM
The next stage after the designing stage is the CAD/CAM stage. This stage
involves the implication of CAD Software, CAD Software is a 2D and 3D
computer aided program. CAD Software improves the quality and the
dimensional quality of the design which is used by designers. This Software
also enables the cresation of a database for production.Basically after the
process of designing a concept finished by the designer, and its created on
the paper, the stage of conversion of “design on paper” to the “ software
system” is held through CAD Software. Literally, the CAD or CAM is a
software responsible for the process of automating the manufacturing
process.
How CNC machines help to create master models for casting in Kairos Jewelry
?
3-Production of Master (CNC)
Still metal casting is one of the most common procedure to manufacture
jewelry, artisans tend to concentrate on developing the process of creating
master models to quicken the process. CNC (Computer Numerical Control)
technology is making the crucial splash in jewelry industry, , suggesting
multitude of solutions to handicaps artisans are faced with. Manufacturers
use CNC machines instead of hand carving pieces from wax. A wax copy of a
jewelry produced with CNC technology gives producers ability to produce
more precise and complex geometries compared to a hand carved material. For
instance , carved details can be made before casting. Also CNC machines
operate quicker but they would need a CAD file of an item to be produced

it down into the form he or she demands like a sculptor practising with
stone. Processed wax piece is then sent to a caster to be cast in specified
metal artisans want through the stage of losr wax casting.
The wax pieces are made from rubber moulds which are made of silver master.
Waxing process involves implementing the rubber mould on the wax injector
machine , afterwards pressure injected into the cavity to produce wax
models. Wax models are then being used for casting process.
The wax pieces are being soldered on a wax stem , called “treeing”. Its the
stage a spruce is attached to each wax piece, making approxiametly 45
degree angle with the stem. The bigger and heavier pieces are attached at

brown, yellow and black coating.
Kairos Jewelry’s galvanic services allow us to secure the surface of our
jewelry so can be used for a long period of time.
Rhodium plating of the jewelry gives our jewelry a lighter color than
electrolytically palladium or platinum. A crucial benefit of rhodium is its
high protection to sulfides, while siver jewelry can tarnish in the
existence of these compunds. Our rhodium plated silver jewelry changes its
color to a minimum level, and the applied coating is qualified by high
hardness, which elevates the machanical resistance.
Kairos Jewelry’s Rhodium plated silver jewelry has a signature glow and
high longecvity values , which is why many customers preffer Kairos Jewelry

jewelry in five color variants.:

process. The color is subject to alloy composition of the performed
coating. In the case of rose gold plating, copper is the component. Depends

red.
