G.T.R Goudsmit

GTR Goudsmit is a passionate team of jewelry artisans dedicated to creating unique and stunning pieces that captivate the essence of your personality.
We are at the forefront of jewelry manufacturing technology, leveraging the power of 3D resin printing. This cutting-edge technology has revolutionized the industry by allowing us to bring intricate and highly detailed designs to life with incredible precision.
Using 3D resin printing, we can create intricate molds and patterns that were previously impossible to achieve using traditional manufacturing methods. This innovation has opened up a world of creative possibilities, enabling us to craft jewelry that pushes the boundaries of design.
Our commitment to quality craftsmanship remains unwavering. Every piece of jewelry that leaves our studio is a testament to the perfect marriage of artistic vision and technological advancement.

• Step 1.

  Zbrush - 3D CAD Jewelry Design

  

  Creating jewelry using ZBrush involves a meticulous 3D design process. We start by sketching the concept, which serves as a rough blueprint.
  
  We then utilize ZBrush's powerful sculpting and modeling tools to shape and refine the jewelry piece in a digital 3D workspace.
  
  Precise details, intricate textures, and gemstone settings are meticulously crafted, allowing for unparalleled creativity.
  
  ZBrush's dynamic brushes and sculpting techniques enable us to achieve organic and complex shapes, while its rendering capabilities assist in visualizing the final piece in various lighting conditions.
  
  Once satisfied with the design, the 3D model can be exported for 3D printing or further refinement, making ZBrush an indispensable tool in modern jewelry design.

  From 3D Design to 3D Printing

  

  Creating jewelry with a 3D resin printer involves a meticulous process that begins with designing a digital 3D model of the desired jewelry piece using specialized software.
  
  Once the design is complete, it is converted into a printable file format, typically STL. The resin printer utilizes a liquid resin that hardens when exposed to UV light.
  
  Layer by layer, the printer carefully deposits and cures the resin according to the digital design, building the jewelry piece from the bottom up.
  
  After printing, the jewelry is removed from the build platform and undergoes post-processing, which includes cleaning off excess resin, curing under UV light for complete hardening, and potentially adding finishing touches like polishing or attaching clasps.
  
  This method allows for intricate and customized jewelry designs, making 3D resin printing a popular choice in the jewelry industry for its precision and versatility.

• Step 3.

  Wax to Precious metal

  

  Casting jewelry from a wax model using a centrifugal casting machine is a traditional and precise technique.
  
  First, a wax model of the desired jewelry piece is created through various methods, including hand carving or 3D printing.
  
  This wax model is then attached to a casting tree, along with other models if necessary, to optimize the casting process.
  
  The tree is placed inside a flask, and a heat-resistant investment material is poured around it, creating a mold. Once the investment sets, the flask is heated in a kiln to melt the wax, leaving behind a cavity in the mold.
  
  Molten precious metal, typically gold or silver or gold, is then heated until it's in a liquid state and poured into the mold.
  
  The centrifugal casting machine is activated, using centrifugal force to force the molten metal into every detail of the mold, ensuring a precise reproduction of the wax model.
  
  After cooling and solidifying, the mold is broken open, revealing the newly cast jewelry piece, which then undergoes finishing processes such as polishing and stone setting to create the final product.
  
  This method is favored for its ability to reproduce intricate designs and achieve high-quality jewelry.

  The Final Result

  

  Processing a casted piece of jewelry, especially when incorporating precious stones like diamonds, involves a specialized set of steps.
  
  After the initial sanding and polishing, we assess the piece to determine where and how gemstones will be set.
  
  Small holes or seats are carefully drilled or carved into the metal to securely hold the stones.
  
  For diamonds, skilled artisans create tiny prongs or bezel settings designed to cradle and showcase the gems.
  
  The stones are then expertly placed and secured, ensuring they are level and secure.
  
  Once the stones are set, the jewelry undergoes a final round of polishing to ensure that both the metal and gemstones shine brilliantly.
  
  This meticulous process not only enhances the jewelry's aesthetic appeal but also ensures the durability and longevity of the piece, resulting in a stunning final product that combines the beauty of both precious metals and gemstones.
