Jewelry (also spelled
jewellery) is a personal ornament, such as a necklace,
ring, or bracelet that is made from gemstones, precious
metals or other materials.
The word jewelry
comes from the word jewel It was anglicized from
the Old French "jouel" circa the 13th
century. Further tracing leads back to the Latin
word "jocale", meaning plaything. Jewelry
is one of the oldest forms of body adornment; recently
found 100,000 year-old beads made from Nassarius
shells are understood to be the oldest known Jewelry.
During earlier times Jewelry was created only for
practical uses such as wealth storage and pinning
clothes together. Recently it has been used almost
solely for decoration. The initial pieces of Jewelry
were made from natural resources, such as bone,
animal teeth, shell, wood and carved stone. Jewelry
was often made for people of importance to show
their rank and in many cases they were buried with
it.
Jewelry has been made to adorn nearly every body
part, from hairpins to toe rings and many types
of trinkets. While high quality is made with gemstones
and precious metals, there is also an increasing
demand for art Jewelry where design and creativity
is prized above material value. Furthermore, there
is the less-costly costume Jewelry, made from less-valuable
materials and mass-produced. New variations include
wire figures (wrap) Jewelry, using anything from
metal wire with rock tumbled stone to precious metals
and precious gemstones.
We offer reduced time and cost for jewelry designers
and their clients with state-of-the-art equipment.
Our machines build wax models from computer files
using thermoplastics that are perfect materials
for investment casting. See some of the

In the past jewelry design was greatly influenced
by difficult discussions between the customer and
the jeweler. The only option for executing a jewelry
design model was looking through a stock jewelry
design catalogue. Whenever the customer had an idea
which was not finished in the finished piece of
jewelry the sale became very difficult.
With the aid of computer aided design (cad)
model making has
taken a wonderful new direction. With us jewelry
stores and jewelry customers can actually see their
idea before the creation stage. Other vital benefits
to cad jewelry design are accuracy and the lower
price. Your jewelry design can now be manufactured
by us with incredible symmetry because the wax
model is created using our in house rapid prototyping
machines.
The finished jewelry pieces is what counts and
that is what the jeweler wants to be able to bring
to it's client. Whenever a client is interested
in a special design, the jeweler needs to rapidly
show the client a representation of the jewelry
design and that is best achieved with a prototyped
mode, which is achieved from a
rapid prototyping machine.
