Gold and jewelry are not just a finished product; they are a precise story of knowledge fused with creativity. Behind every piece lies an informed choice of manufacturing methods that directly affects quality, precision, durability, and even the final cost.

In the jewelry industry, every project has its own path—from idea and design to final production. Knowing the available methods and being able to choose the technique that fits the design type, production volume, and level of detail is one of the key skills of a professional workshop.

Common techniques in gold fabrication:

Lost-Wax Casting

A classic, widely used method that enables complex forms with high accuracy. It is also suitable for higher volumes and mass production.

Hammering & Hand Forming

The most time-honored technique in goldsmithing, where shaping is performed entirely by hand. Highly valuable for unique, artistic pieces.

Investment (Precision) Casting

An advanced version of lost-wax with greater control over thickness and detail; ideal for intricate and delicate designs.

CAD/CAM (Digital Design & Manufacturing)

Using modeling software such as Matrix or ZBrush and outputting via resin 3D printing. This approach brings industrial-grade precision into the jewelry craft.

Hybrid Fabrication

Many modern projects combine manual and digital methods—for example, digital design plus final hand hammering, or casting plus assembly.

Why does method selection matter?

Each method has its own advantages, limitations, costs, and technical requirements.
A poor choice can lead to wasted time, higher costs, or lower quality.

For example:
Minimalist designs may be more efficient with CNC machining.
Complex, organic designs often require precise 3D printing.
Traditional pieces may achieve authenticity only through hand forming.
