Craftsmanship

The most significant part in the craftsmanship of our jewellery is watching each design evolve at every stage in its journey. From our initial sketches and conceptions, to being worn and treasured by many, each design is handcrafted with care, craft and purpose. 

In our workshop, original designs that have been hand carved into intricate wax moulds are brought to life through the creative and masterful efforts of our dedicated and highly skilled craftsman and silversmiths.

Our beautiful, sterling silver jewellery designs are products of the seamless collaboration of creativity and craftsmanship. The timeless skills of our silversmiths is then combined with the latest technology, to provide high quality, handcrafted  jewellery to our Silver Origins customers. 

Each piece initially starts from the original model made out of wax or solid silver. 

From the original model a master rubber mould is made. This is then used to replicate the original model by injecting hot wax into it forming identical wax replicas. These are then soldered onto wax trees ready for casting.

Using the lost wax casting method, the wax trees are then placed into the casting machine where fire melts the wax replacing it with molten Sterling Silver 925.

At this stage, the magic begins. Each piece is sanded and polished by hand, surface textures are applied and enhanced by hand and semi-precious gemstones are set or inlayed by skilled stone setters. Many designs have our signature textured finish or gold plate highlights to enhance the piece, which requires each item to be expertly plated in 18k gold vermeil or silver plated. An anti-tarnish barrier is then applied.

Finally, the finished piece can be checked for quality control before becoming someones cherished keepsake.

At all stages of production, quality remains paramount to maintain our high standards. We pride ourselves on offering reliable and consistent quality and service 

Our jewellery workshop operates within a strict code of health and safety and working conditions, so that all laws are abided by. We believe strongly in producing our jewellery in an ethical, moral and eco-friendly manner. We strive to continually improve and reduce our impact on the environment. Silver can be recycled and used again and again.
