What is wax setting in jewellery?

Do you know how many steps a piece of jewelry goes through from the initial design to the final product in the hands of the consumer?

The whole production process includes the initial 3D model design, the creation of the wax mold by 3D wax spraying, the molding, the making of the compression mold and the finished wax mold by the chipping wax technique.After that, the most time-consuming and crucial step is the diamond setting process, where the small sparkling stones are set one by one in the jewelry. This is the most time-consuming and crucial step in the process, which is to set the sparkling gems one by one in the jewelry.

In the traditional handmade wax setting process, the worker usually holds a special suction device in one hand to suck up the stones, while the other hand is responsible for holding the wax mold in place and repeating the action of sucking up and pointing out the stones.At the same time, the worker's eyes must be constantly focused on the position of the stones to ensure that each stone is set correctly and accurately.This process requires a high degree of concentration, as the slightest mishap can lead to a leakage or a reversal of the stone, thus affecting the quality of the product.

Especially during rush hours, it may not be possible to complete the task on time even with overtime work, and it is often necessary to increase the number of staff or to seek external assistance. In this case, the use of automatic jewellery wax setting machine becomes a better choice. Compared with manual operation, automatic wax setting machine can significantly improve the work efficiency, not only to speed up the production, but also to ensure a high rate of product qualification.

When the diamond setting step is completed, followed by a series of follow-up processes such as wax tree planting, mold inversion, trimming, polishing and plating, until the final packaging stage, which means that the production process of the whole piece of jewelry is completely finished.

In the whole jewellery making chain, each link is crucial, and the quality of the previous process directly determines whether it can proceed to the next step smoothly, so every detail should not be neglected. Only by making sure that each step is up to standard can you end up with a perfect piece of jewelry.
