What is Jewelry Quality Control and Why Is It So Important?
Jewelry Quality Control covers all the inspection and testing processes carried out to ensure that quality standards are met at every stage of the jewelry production process, from raw materials to the finished product. This process ensures that a jewelry not only looks beautiful, but also durable, safe and long-lasting. Jewelry Quality Control is the cornerstone of a jewelry manufacturer’s reputation and customer satisfaction. Quality control processes start with the selection of materials. For example, the purity and quality of metals such as gold, silver, platinum to be used, casting is tested before. In the same way, the color, clarity, cut and carat (4C) properties of precious stones such as diamonds, rubies, sapphires are controlled according to international standards.
Jewelry Quality Control is not limited only to the quality of the material; it also covers every stage of the production process. All processes such as Wax Printing, assembly, fastening, pre-polishing and polishing are carried out according to certain quality standards, and after each stage, the jewelry is carefully examined by our expert quality control team. In this process, microscopes, precision measuring instruments and various testing devices are used.
For example, many different characteristics are checked, such as the accuracy of the measurement of a ring, the symmetry of the placement of stones, the smoothness of the polish, the robustness of the locking mechanisms. If a defect or deficiency is detected at any stage, the jewel is sent back to the relevant department for the necessary corrections to be made.
another reason Jewelry Quality Control is so important is that it ensures customer trust and loyalty. When a customer buys jewelry, he has made not only an accessory, but also an investment. In order for this investment to pay off, the jewelry must be of high quality, durable and long-lasting. At this point, the Jewelry Quality Control processes provide customers with an assurance that the jewelry they are buying is produced to the highest standards. This, in turn, increases customer satisfaction and loyalty to the brand. In addition, Jewelry Quality Control is also vital for maintaining brand reputation. A poor quality or defective product not only loses the customer, but also damages the brand’s image. Especially in today’s digital world, a negative customer review can spread very quickly and drive away potential customers. As Empire Casting House, we are aware of these risks and protect both our customers’ and our own reputation with our investments in Jewelry Quality Control.
Jewelry Quality Control Processes of Empire Casting House
As Empire Casting House, we see Jewelry Quality Control as an integral part of our production process and we are making a big investment in this process. Our quality control processes cover every stage of production, starting from the selection of raw materials to the packaging of the finished product. At each stage, our specialized quality control personnel performs rigorous inspections and tests according to established standards and procedures. For example, in the CAD design, which is the first stage of the production process, each model is examined in detail by our expert designers, both aesthetically and in terms of functionality. If any weak points or production difficulties are detected in the design, the necessary arrangements are made even at the model stage.
Quality control is also applied with great care in the Wax Printing and casting processes, which are the next stage. Wax Printing Our machines are calibrated and cleaned before and after each use. In this way, we make sure that each candle model reflects all the details of the design down to the finest detail. At the casting stage, the purity and alloy ratios of the metals used are regularly checked with spectrometer devices.
In addition, each part coming out of the casting is examined by eye and under a microscope and checked for possible defects such as surface roughness, cracks, pores or missing details. If any defects are detected, the part is separated for re-casting and the production process is started from the beginning. At Empire Casting House, we never compromise on quality and do not hesitate to reproduce a part many times if necessary, in order to always offer the best to our customers.
Jewelry Quality Control our processes continue with the same meticulousness in the next stages, such as fastening, pre-polishing and final polishing. During the clamping stage, we make sure that each stone is placed correctly, that the nails or bezel hold the stone securely, and that there are no scratches or damage to the surface of the stone. In the pre-polishing and final polishing stages, the surface of each jewel is polished like a mirror using different polishing techniques and materials. At these stages, we use both manual techniques and state-of-the-art polishing machines. For example, magnetic polishing machines provide excellent brightness even in hard-to-reach areas, while laser polishing devices offer the possibility of working on sensitive surfaces without leaving scratches. In all these processes, our experienced craftsmen and quality control personnel treat each piece of jewelry almost like a work of art and add the value it deserves.
