Techniques Involved In Tufa Casting Custom Jewelry NM

By Shirley Carter


Most people love jewels designed in a particular manner and with various materials, but they never question how they are made. It is important to note that multiple processes are involved before the final product is gotten. The methods consist of the process of mixing the right materials and colors to come with specific designs. This discussion will focus on the procedures of making Tufa casting custom jewelry NM.

Pieces of stone where the design will be made are prepared before other process kicks off. The size of the stones to be used is determined by the choice and type of models the designer ought to create. After the right size have been cut, the next thing is to smoothen all of them and make them flat. The aim of flattening them is to make them identical and perfect to each other.

On the size of the stone that has already been created carefully design a sketch of what you need to make. These sketches should be done in such a way that there are no errors at all. And to achieve all this, take time when drawing your outline.

After the sketched have been drawn carving of the stone should happen. Carving should be carried out using tools that are recommended for the process. Here useful tools include chisels, wood filed and sewing needles because they make the process much more manageable. There is a need to have this process correctly done because when mistakes are made there will be little room to correct them and there should be no air rooms left. Carving leaves space where silver fillings will be poured to get the desired model.

The next step is to carbonize the stone before silver is poured into it. The source of carbon should have no traces of oxygen at all. The two parts of stones should be bound together using rubber bands or clamps. Then a certain amount of silver is melted using a crucible and at a certain temperature. After the molted state has been achieved pouring it should take a little time, and if it is done in the right manner, it should fill the intended space.

The cast silver should be sand cleaned to smoothen the model. The good thing is that even after the cleaning process has been done, the texture on the model is still left there. Also, the cleaning process can be done in a citric acid pickling solution. This solution removes any fire scale that might have occurred during the soldering process.

At this point polishing is inevitable. The sole aim of polishing to have the products look attractive and appealing. The most common ways to shine the designs involved the use of water, rubber and other recommended polishing compounds. The different stages of polishing will use compounds that are either abrasive or non abrasive.

On completion of most processes, the products are almost ready for the market. Although they are available, there is room for designers to put various styles on them before they are sold. This can be done keeping mind your target market and what you intended to create. As much as other stages take a lot of time, sanding and polishing take the most time.
