Hibiscus Ring Casted in Brass, Finishing & Nano coating - Part 4

In real production we scale on every movement to know how much grams we got loss on material on the production process. I am using Europe standard for finishing that make many steps but giving us the best result and a correct way in silver, brass, copper even gold production. And the end bring to a dilemma when determine the prices. But frankly, customers very happy with the quality.

The main problem in jewelry is fire skill, shiny but cloudy. The reason some manufacturer to do a rhodium plating and silver plating on silver jewelry!. We don't use any plating, only coating to protect the finishing and only for brass that easy to turn to patina (green) color.

Experiences Shrunk On Ring Sizes

Experiences Shrunk On Ring Sizes

Casting will face shrunken problems. In my experiences it will be vary and depending on the design. Regarding with ring sizes, for sizes 6 and under it will be shrinked 1/2 size. Sizes 7 to 9 it will shrinked 1/2 - 3/4 size. Above 9 is mostly 3/4 to 1 size depending on the thickness.

It does mean when I want size 7 on production result and using rubber for the mold (low cost) then I made size 7 3/4 on 3D design because it shrinked a lot. If using liquid mold/ silicon which less shrinked I made size 7 1/2 for the 3D design. Silicon is very good for precision but the life time is 50-80 pcs waxes production, the cost is 50% higher than rubber mold. Using for designs with calibrated gemstones.

Below is The USA standard size, and hope it will useful for you. I made this chart using RhinoGold which the second software I've been using. Thanks
