At Keshavji Chhaganlal Jewellers, our commitment to excellence extends beyond the finished product – it begins with the very essence of gold itself. With a legacy dating back to 1925, we take pride in crafting exquisite Indian gold jewellery that embodies tradition, craftsmanship, and timeless beauty. Join us on a journey through the intricate process of transforming raw gold ore into the finest jewellery sets, showcasing the artistry and dedication of our skilled craftsmen.
Mining and Extraction:
The journey of Indian gold jewellery begins deep within the earth’s crust, where gold ore deposits are found in mines around the world. Through a process of exploration and extraction, raw gold ore is unearthed and brought to the surface for processing. At Keshavji Chhaganlal Jewellers, we prioritize ethical sourcing practices, ensuring that our gold is responsibly mined and sourced from reputable suppliers.
Refining and Purification:
Once the raw gold ore is extracted, it undergoes a series of refining and purification processes to remove impurities and achieve the desired level of purity. Through techniques such as smelting and electrolysis, the gold is purified to the highest standards, resulting in 24-karat gold – the purest form of gold used in jewellery making.
Alloying and Melting:
Pure gold is too soft to be used in jewellery, so it is often alloyed with other metals to enhance its durability and strength. At Keshavji Chhaganlal Jewellers, our master craftsmen carefully blend gold with precise proportions of alloying metals such as silver, copper, and zinc to create alloys of varying karatages. The alloyed gold is then melted in a crucible at high temperatures, ready to be shaped into jewellery.
Casting and Forming:
Once the gold is molten, it is poured into molds or casts to create the desired shapes and forms of jewellery components. Whether it’s intricate filigree patterns, elaborate motifs, or sleek modern designs, our craftsmen use traditional casting techniques to bring each piece to life with precision and attention to detail.
Crafting and Assembly:
With the individual components cast, our skilled artisans begin the meticulous process of crafting and assembling the jewellery pieces. Using specialized tools and techniques, they meticulously solder, polish, and finish each component, ensuring seamless integration and flawless craftsmanship. Whether it’s a necklace, earrings, bangles, or rings, every piece is imbued with the expertise and artistry of our craftsmen.
Setting Gemstones and Final Touches:
For jewellery pieces adorned with gemstones, our craftsmen carefully set each stone with precision and care, ensuring a secure and aesthetically pleasing arrangement. Whether it’s the brilliance of diamonds, the allure of rubies, or the vibrancy of emeralds, gemstones are meticulously selected and set to enhance the beauty of the gold jewellery. Finally, the finished pieces undergo a final inspection and quality check to ensure they meet our exacting standards of excellence.
The making process of Indian gold jewellery at Keshavji Chhaganlal Jewellers is a labor of love and dedication, spanning centuries of tradition and craftsmanship.
