Model Making and Curating
Sera Jewels is not made for the mass market, in essence all our pieces are custom made and specialized jewellery. Hence, after drawing, model making is the start of every piece. A wax model is created so that changes can be made easily on a ‘real’ model of the piece. This wax model becomes a silver ‘mock-up’ allows me to see how the finished product will look and to control the weight of every piece. Once the silver model is done, only then is the gold mount created which ensures that the gold weight of any product is exactly as per our quotation to you. I put in the raw materials you have chosen i.e. the diamonds or stones, to ensure that the real piece will come out as amazing as the drawings. Since the weight of gold is heavier than silver, the model allows me to evaluate the comfort to you and maintain the elegance of the design once the final piece is made. I believe this stage is often overlooked by many jewelers as it doubles the cost and labour. But without this important step, I won’t have the confidence to promise you what Sera Jewels does!
