Emerald Cut Half Eternity Shared Prong Ring

1. Designing
The process begins with a concept or idea, often brought to life through hand-drawn sketches or digital designs using CAD (Computer-Aided Design). This stage allows the designer to visualize the piece, ensuring that details like size, shape, and stone placement are accurate.

2. Prototyping/Wax Modeling
Once the design is approved, a prototype is created, either by hand-carving wax models or through 3D printing. This wax model is an exact replica of the final jewelry piece and is used in the casting process.

3. Casting
In the casting stage, the wax model is encased in a plaster-like material called investment. It is then heated in a kiln to harden the investment and melt away the wax, leaving a mold. Molten metal (gold, silver, platinum, etc.) is poured into the mold, forming the basic structure of the jewelry.

4. Setting the Stones
After the metal has cooled and the piece is cleaned, gemstones or diamonds are set into the piece. This can be done by hand, where the jeweler meticulously places each stone, securing it with metal prongs, channels, or other settings depending on the design.

5. Polishing and Finishing
The jewelry is then polished to give it a smooth and shiny surface. Additional finishing touches, such as engraving, detailing, or texturing, can be added to enhance its appearance.

6. Quality Inspection
Finally, each piece undergoes a quality inspection to ensure that the design, craftsmanship, and durability meet high standards. Any imperfections are corrected, and the jewelry is prepared for packaging and delivery.
