Rockingham Fine Jewellers
Using specialised jewellery software and 25+ years of experience in both jewellery technology and traditional bench jewellery we can provide extremely accurate photo-realistic images and even physical 3D printed models that you can try on (With your actual stones!) to better get a feel for your final design.
This is far more precise and extremely helpful for visualising your final design!
Your final jewellery can then be created using the very best in modern casting techniques, traditional handmade methods or a combination of methods depending on your requirements and budget, by our team, right here at our workshop studio.
What next?
Your first appointment.
At your initial appointment we will sit with you and begin the process of creating your jewellery alongside you, incorporating all of your ideas, explaining in detail all of the best practises for structural integrity, metal properties, stone selections and more to ensure you are armed with the very best knowledge to make your decisions and bring you a design that you will cherish, that will last for generations. At this appointment we will hand sketch ideas with you so that you can visualise your ideas easier!
The Design Process
We will then start the process of creating a 3D model using specialist computer software. This is quite an intensive process and can take up to two weeks to complete depending on the complexity of the model and our current workload. Once the model is created we can send you photo-realistic images and send your accurate quote (The software allows us to calculate metal weights and density) - It is much like the wax carving that was previously used in jewellery creation, but up to date and keeping with the times!
Crafting your Jewellery
Once we have your approval to start your jewellery we require a 50% deposit and your design is off to our workshop to begin the creation process, whether that is through 'lost wax' casting, modern vaccum casting techniques, hand made or a combination. All casting and crafting, all stone setting, construction and finishing is done by hand as this creates the highest quality, structurally sound fine jewellery. We want you to wear your jewellery every single day should you desire, and to last generations. We can even use your own stones and credit you for gold that you may no longer wear to go towards your new personally designed jewellery pieces. Our team will work within their specialist areas on your jewellery piece together to ensure the very best heirloom quality production. Our artisan jewellery typically takes 4-6 weeks to complete AFTER your approval and deposit is paid, we don't want to rush such important sentimental pieces.
Jewellery
Once your jewellery is ready we will present your jewellery to you at an appointment where we will explain to you how to best care for your jewellery and what kinds of services are included with your Diamond Tree Jewellery (Free inspection and cleaning, rhodium plating, if required) – We will also advise you of the best insurance and arrange valuation if you require. We can even have your precious new jewellery insured for you before you leave the studio through Q-Report specialised jewellery insurance. We also have a range of sustainable luxury boxes available. This is absolutely our favourite part of the job and we do our very best to make it an experience that you wont ever forget, we are so thankful to be able to share in this moment with you!
