Stap Twee

3D-design

Using advanced CAD design software, Maxime transforms your description into a detailed 3D model. This digital approach is more precise than traditional drawings.

The 3D sketch provides a clear and realistic image of the jewel. Maxime refines the design until it fully meets your expectations.

Voordelen van het ontwerp:

  • - Accurate proportions and dimensions
  • - Realistische visualisatie vóór creatie
  • - Multiple revisions to perfection possible
  • - Technische specificaties voor productie

3D-prototypering

Once the digital sketch is approved, we create a physical prototype using our precision 3D printer. The prototype is built up layer by layer until it reaches its final form.

Unlike the 3D sketch, the prototype (in plastic) is a tangible representation of the jewel. It leaves room for refinements, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal wearing comfort.

Voordelen prototype:

  • • Physical try-on for size and comfort
  • • Laatste mogelijkheid voor aanpassingen
  • • Vertrouwen voor definitieve productie

Precisie steenzetten

Employing a variety of specialised techniques, our master goldsmiths hand-set each gemstone with exceptional precision. Every stone is meticulously positioned to achieve optimal brilliance and enduring security.

For white-gold creations, a rhodium layer is applied through electrolysis, giving the piece its signature bright white and luminous finish.
