Custom Gold Jewelry
Turn design direction into manufacturable gold jewelry through CAD refinement, sampling, casting, stone setting and final finishing. Each stage can be reviewed around the proportions, construction and finish expected for your collection.
Gold Vermeil Jewelry
Gold vermeil combines a sterling silver base with a thicker gold-plated surface, creating a premium alternative for brands seeking the look of gold with a different material structure and price position.
Custom-made Real Gold Jewelry
For solid gold projects, early design and cost decisions are especially important. CAD review, sampling and material planning can help control development risk before moving into production, including lower-volume collection launches.

Yellow Gold
Pure gold is naturally soft and malleable, so yellow gold jewelry is commonly alloyed with other metals to improve strength and wearability while preserving its classic warm color.
Rose Gold
Rose gold gets its pink tone from copper within the alloy. The exact composition varies by karat and target color, creating a warmer alternative to traditional yellow gold.
White Gold
White gold combines gold with light-colored alloy metals and is often rhodium finished for a bright reflective appearance. Composition varies according to karat and manufacturing specification.
