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
-
Wax models are attached to a base to form a “tree.”
-
The tree is placed into a cylindrical flask.
-
Investment plaster fills the flask and hardens around the wax.
-
The flask is heated — the wax melts away (lost-wax casting).
-
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.
