How an Exclusive Piece of Jewelry is Born

1️⃣ Gold Melting and Base Preparation

The process begins with melting 18K yellow gold at a temperature of 1064°C. The molten metal is poured into a mold, solidifying into a strong ingot, which is then rolled and refined.

💡 Why 18K yellow gold?

✔ It contains 75% pure gold, giving the jewelry a noble hue and long-lasting durability.

✔ This alloy is perfect for diamond and gemstone setting, ensuring a secure hold for the stones.

✔ Yellow gold is timeless—its popularity never fades, and its classic look enhances the status of its wearer.

2️⃣ Shaping and Marking for Gemstone Setting

Once the gold base is prepared, the process of shaping the pendant begins. Each detail is meticulously crafted by hand with exceptional precision to achieve flawless symmetry.

The next step is marking the exact positions for gemstone placement. The jeweler uses specialized jewelry tools to ensure millimeter-perfect alignment, guaranteeing a perfect final result.

📌 Jewelry craftsmanship is all about precision! Even the slightest miscalculation in marking can affect the final appearance and the way light reflects in the stones.

3️⃣ Gemstone Setting: Creating a Multi-Layered Glow

✔ First Level – The Main Halo

Large diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and black diamonds are set first. This layer creates a striking frame, enhancing the depth of the central element.

✔ Second Level – The Lower Halo

A second, lower halo of smaller diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and emeralds is set next, intensifying the brilliance and adding even more dimension to the pendant.

✔ Final Accent – Setting the Central Tanzanite

After completing the halos, the jeweler moves on to the final touch: setting the rare tanzanite with its deep blue-violet hue. This stone mesmerizes with its depth and color-changing effect, shifting shades depending on the light.

💡 Did you know?

✔ Tanzanite is found in only one place on Earth—at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro.

✔ Its deposits may be completely depleted within the next 20-30 years, making it not just a luxury gemstone but also an investment-worthy asset.

📌 The moment the central stone is set is pure magic! This is when the pendant truly comes to life, becoming a unique piece of art.

4️⃣ Final Polishing and Quality Control

Once all the stones are securely set, the jeweler meticulously inspects every detail:

✔ Ensuring the diamond and gemstone settings are strong and durable.

✔ Checking for perfect symmetry in the design.

✔ Assessing the pendant’s overall brilliance and light reflection.

The finishing touch is polishing, which gives the pendant a flawless mirror-like shine and enhances the depth of its gemstone reflections.

✨ The result: an exclusive 18K yellow gold pendant that embodies the fusion of high jewelry craftsmanship, unique design, and rare natural gemstones.
