“From Casting to Polishing: The Complete Journey of a DVN Gold Piece”

Every gold ornament created at DVN Jewelry carries a story — a story of precision, technology, craftsmanship, and uncompromising quality. The journey from raw gold to a finished masterpiece involves multiple stages, each executed with strict manufacturing standards. This is where DVN stands apart: every step is engineered for perfection.

Let’s walk through the complete manufacturing journey of a DVN gold piece.


🔶 1. Gold Purification & Alloying – The Foundation of Strength

The journey begins with selecting high-purity gold. DVN uses hallmark-grade purity — 9K, 14K, 18K, or 22K — based on the design.

What DVN Does in This Stage

  • Melts pure gold at controlled temperatures

  • Mixes alloys (copper, silver, zinc) in precise ratios

  • Uses digital weighing and automated alloying machines

  • Ensures strength, color consistency, and durability

This ensures that every piece has the correct karat, accurate weight, and optimal hardness for manufacturing.


🔶 2. Wax Modeling – The Blueprint of the Design

Before gold comes into play, DVN creates wax models using either:

  • CNC milling

  • 3D printing

  • Hand carving (for traditional designs)

Why This Stage Matters

Wax defines the final design. Every curve, edge, and detail is set here. DVN’s computerized modeling ensures:

  • Symmetry

  • Lightweight precision

  • Perfect reproduction of intricate designs


🔶 3. Investment & Casting – Turning Wax into Gold

This is where the real transformation happens.

DVN Casting Process

  1. Wax models are attached to a base to form a “tree.”

  2. The tree is placed into a cylindrical flask.

  3. Investment plaster fills the flask and hardens around the wax.

  4. The flask is heated — the wax melts away (lost-wax casting).

  5. Molten gold is poured into the cavity.

Why DVN’s Casting Stands Out

  • Vacuum casting avoids air bubbles

  • Controlled temperature ensures flowability

  • Gold fills even the thinnest sections

  • Smooth surface with minimal defects

Casting at DVN is engineered to ensure structural strength and weight accuracy.


🔶 4. De-Casting & Cleaning – Revealing the Structure

Once the gold solidifies:

  • The plaster mold is broken

  • The gold tree is removed

  • Individual pieces are cut off

  • The surface is cleaned using ultrasonic technology

This stage ensures the rough casting is ready for refinement.


🔶 5. Filing & Shaping – Perfecting the Form

Now comes the detailed correction work.

DVN’s Process Includes

  • Removing excess metal

  • Softening sharp edges

  • Maintaining symmetry

  • Bringing the design closer to its final form

Artisans use micro-files, carbide tools, and rotary machines to refine each piece. DVN combines human craftsmanship with machine precision to maintain uniformity.


🔶 6. Pre-Polishing – Preparing the Surface

Before any stones are set or final finishing is done, DVN performs pre-polishing.

What Happens Here

  • Rough scratches are removed

  • Surfaces are smoothened

  • Edges are blended

Pre-polishing ensures that the final polish shines evenly and beautifully.


🔶 7. Stone Setting (If Required)

For pieces with CZs or gemstones, expert setters work by hand.

DVN Specializes In

  • Micro-setting

  • Channel setting

  • Prong setting

  • Bezel setting

Using microscopes and laser tools, DVN ensures strong grip and neat alignment.


🔶 8. Laser Welding – Fixing Microscopic Imperfections

Laser welding is used for precision repairs or joining small components.

Why DVN Uses Laser Welding

  • No marks or burns

  • Strong, clean joints

  • Perfect for lightweight jewelry

  • Ideal for hollow or delicate pieces

This ensures durability without compromising beauty.


🔶 9. Final Polishing – The Signature DVN Shine

This is the stage that gives the gold piece its ultimate brilliance.

DVN Uses Multiple Polishing Techniques

  • Machine buffing

  • Hand polishing

  • Soft-wheel polishing

  • Micro-abrasive finishing

Depending on the design, DVN produces finishes such as:

  • Glossy

  • Matte

  • Satin

  • Rhodium plated

This final polish gives every DVN product its premium, retail-ready appearance.


🔶 10. Quality Check – Every Piece Must Pass 10+ Tests

No gold piece leaves DVN without strict QC.

DVN’s Quality Control Includes

  • Weight accuracy

  • Karat purity testing

  • Dimension & symmetry check

  • Surface inspection

  • Stone tightness test

  • Polishing consistency

  • Structural strength test

  • Manufacturing defect scan

Only pieces that pass all checks move to final packaging.


Conclusion

The journey from casting to polishing at DVN Jewelry is not just a manufacturing process — it’s a blend of technology, precision engineering, and skilled artistry. Every DVN gold piece reflects:

  • Strong foundation

  • High-tech production

  • Expert craftsmanship

  • Premium finishing

  • Unmatched quality control

This is why DVN remains a trusted name for jewelers and wholesalers seeking reliable, beautifully crafted gold jewelry.
