Design and Production
All A Jour pieces are developed and produced in house from scratch. Be it engagement rings, wedding bands, pendants, bracelet, solitaires you name it.
That means:
- You or us or we both work out an idea, you tell us your dream.
- You or we make the first sketches. Bring us “rip outs” from magazines, pictures of things that you like and dislike to give us an idea where your preferences are.
- We create a computer generated CAD rendering for you, so you can see and critique your piece finished in photo reality. We make changes until you have your perfect piece. No surprises; what you see is what you get.
- We create a 3-dimensional model either by building it up from pieces of metal, carving it into wax, or creating it through a CAD/CAM process.
Next step is good old bench and shop work of which every single step is executed in our fully equipped goldsmith atelier in Bristol.
- We make the molds.
- We cast the pieces in-house in a lost wax process gold and platinum. As mentioned top high end pieces are fabricated A to Z from precious metal stock, which is the highest possible quality we can deliver.
- We rework all castings by hand on the bench, hand set the precious stones, polish, clean and finish the jewelry in house; handmade! This very tedious and labor intensive process guarantees us total control.
We then sell the product directly from of our facility to you.
Because of personal involvement and know how all along the process, we re able to maintain the highest quality controls, and give you the best product for a fair price.
Our decades of hands on experience in five different countries is ready to serve you the very discerning customer.
Our rule is: If you are not happy we are not happy.
