CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION:
The historical background of Indian jewelry takes us back to the history of the
country itself as both are almost equally old. It was around 5000 years ago when the
curiosity to beautify themselves by adorning some jewelry pieces arouse in people. Since
the beginning of the journey, the charm of jewelry and the beauty of Indian women by
adorning it never separated. It is rare to find any woman in India who may not have ever
loved to decorate herself with jewelry.
In India, jewelry has not only traditional and aesthetic value, but is also
considered as a source of security in times of financial crisis. The amount of jewelry
owned by a woman also signifies her status and adds to the riches in her name. Jewelry
has covered its journey since the beginning as an evolving art form. The beauty of Indian
jewelry lies in the uniqueness of its design and the efforts of the workmanship involved
in creating the intricate designs.
Indian jewelry has played a pivotal role in highlighting the beauty of the various
dance forms popular in India like kuchipudi, kathak or bharatnatyam. Classical dancers
performing various dance forms are given an exquisite appearance by embellishing them
with sparkling Indian jewelry. The number of items adorned by an Indian woman as
jewelry is many and there is an ornament for adorning almost every part of her body.
Right from the hair to the toe, there are jewelry pieces to highlight the beauty of the
Indian women.
The tradition of adorning oneself with jewelry has gained even more vigor in the
modern days. The art of creating intricate ornaments, with delicacy and patience, has
been a part of India throughout its history. The patronage given by rulers to the art as well
as the artists helped in flourishing the beauty of Indian jewelry even more.
The bridal jewelry is chiefly created to match with the attire of the bride. The
theme and the color of the jewelry play a pivotal role in giving it the intricate look. To
add to the attractive element of the ornaments, diamonds and various other gems are used
on the base metal of gold.

The traditional jewelry of India has always been quite heavy consisting of
voluminous gold pieces. However, with the change in times, the contemporary jewelry
which is lighter in weight has gained a lot of popularity among the Indian women.
Jewelry adorned by Indian women has never been limited to be of any particular
stone, but has always shown a variety in it. Ornaments made of various precious and
semi-precious stones like emeralds, pearls, diamonds, rubies, sapphires, etc. have been
used since ages. The variety of jewelry created in India is not only to suffice the aesthetic
sense, but also to fulfill the religious needs. Not only human beings are adorned with
jewelry, but it is also especially crafted for Gods and Goddesses and even for ceremonial
animals like elephants, cows and horses.
The art of jewelry has been patronized by the royal class of India since ancient
times when the right to own the most magnificent jewelry pieces even led to battles. The
availability of wide variety in Indian jewelry is mainly due to the difference in designs
depending on the regional needs which include the varying tastes of people from different
cultures and their lifestyles.
The jewelry designs famous in different parts of India give a huge variety to the
Indian jewelry in both traditional and contemporary styles. The gold jewelry designs of
Tamil Nadu and Kerala draw their inspiration from nature and the kundan and Meenakari
styles of jewelry are inspired by the designs of the Mughal dynasty
Not only gold, there is also a vast variety of silver jewelry found all over India.
The silver bead ornaments are especially popular in the states of Gujarat, Rajasthan,
Himachal Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. The credit for even the contemporary silver bead
ornaments goes to the craftsmen of these states.
Not only gold, there is also a vast variety of silver jewelry found all over India
Assamese jewelry draws its inspiration from the local flora and fauna and
Manipuri jewelry makers create jewelry with the help of shells, teeth, animal claws and
precious and semi-precious stones. The huge variety of ornaments gives proof of the
excellent skills of the craftsmen of the country.

widely popular all over the world where people love to give an exquisite look to their
personality by adorning themselves with intricately designed jewelry pieces from India.
India is one of the largest exporter of gems and jewelry and the industry is
considered to play a vital role in the Indian economy as it contributes a major chunk to
the total foreign reserves of the country.Net exports of gems and jewelry from India rose
at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.01 per cent between FY05 and FY17.
The net exports rose from US$ 15.66 billion in FY 2004-05 to US$ 35.59 billion in FY
2016-17. The overall net exports stood at US$ 35.59 billion during FY 2016-17
registering a growth of 9.07 per cent over FY 2015-16. India is the worlds largest cutting
and polishing center for diamonds. With an 8% share, India has become the world's third
largest diamond consumer. India is the largest consumer of gold, accounting for nearly
29% of the total world gold consumption. Establishing Diamond Bourses to make India

Casting process
Handmade process
Casting process:
Jewelry casting, also known as lost wax casting, is a process by which a wax pattern
is made into a jewelry mold and then filled with molten metal or silver. The wax
mold and heated metal inside the mold are thrown into cold water, causing the mold
to dissipate and leave behind the piece of jewelry.
PAGE 15
Handmade jewelry:
assembled and formed by hand rather than through the use of machines.

JEWELLERY DESIGNING:
In RKR gold private limited jewelry designing is the first and for most step in
manufacturing jewelry. Whereas a set panel of designers
jewelry design is the art or profession of designing and creating jewelry. This is one of
civilizations earliest forms of decoration, dating back at least seven thousand years to the
oldest known human societies in Mesopotamia and Egypt. The art has taken many forms
throughout the centuries, from the simple beadwork of ancient times to the sophisticated
metalworking and gem cutting known in the modern day.
Before an article of jewelry is created, design concepts are rendered followed by detailed
technical drawings generated by a jewelry designer, a professional who is trained in the
architectural and functional knowledge of materials, fabrication techniques, composition,
wear ability and market trends.
PAGE 18
Traditional hand-drawing and drafting methods are still utilized in designing jewelry,
particularly at the conceptual stage. However, a shift is taking place to computer-aided
design programs like Rhinoceros 3D and Matrix. Whereas the traditionally hand-
illustrated jewel is typically translated into wax or metal directly by a skilled craftsman, a
CAD model is generally used as the basis for a CNC cut or 3D printed 'wax' pattern to be
used in the rubber molding or lost wax casting processes.

ORDER PPROCESS:
STEP 1: receiving mail from the consumer.

STEP 4: generating guide card.
STEP 5: required information are passed on to the various production departments in the
organisation.
PAGE 21
WAX AND WAX SETTING:
The very first step is the creation of the wax model. The wax is created by
injecting molten wax into a rubber mold. For desired result, the correct pressures are
applied and timed accurately. The waxes are checked to ensure that they are free from
defects and flaws such as air bubbles, distinct join lines, and irregularities of surface
color, finish and flashing. Great attention is vital during this process to safeguard perfect
waxes are produced.
Wax is used primarily because it retains its shape during the molding process, and
therefore produces excellent results. Additionally, wax burns away cleanly and
efficiently.
PAGE 22
PLACING THE WAX ON THE CASTING TREE:
Next step is to select the most appropriate casting options through the assessment
of waxes by size and mass. On a normal format tree, lighter weight rings will be placed
toward the top and the heavier ones will be positioned lower down the tree.
When all rings have been correctly placed, a can, or flask, is place over the tree. The
solution similar to plaster of Paris, is then poured in the container and left for 3 hours to
set.
PAGE 23
CASTING PROCESS:
Container in which the solution is poured and set is placed in a furnace overnight. During
the process that wax burns out making an inverse mold.
The casting of gold and silver alloys takes place in a vacuum pressure casting machine.
The metal is melted in a graphite crucible that is heated to the correct temperature using
an induction coil. When the correct temperature is reached, the skilled operator will
instigate the casting process.
PAGE 24
Firstly, the casting chamber is flushed with helium. This ensures that the any foreign
gases are removed. Then a vacuum is applied to the lower chamber, the stopper is lifted
in the upper chamber, allowing metal to flow into the mold through the process of
gravity. This sequence of events is determined by pre-set programmed to ensure that each
stage is activated at the exact time to achieve perfect results. The vacuum is then released
and the chamber opens. When the cast tin is removed it is immersed in water to reveal the
cast tree.
GRINDING:
Once the raw casting is clipped off from the casting tree, it has tiny nub leftover at
a place where the gold piece was attached to the sprue. The polisher grinds off this nub
using the motorized grinding machine, which acts as an abstractive to smooth the surface
of the gold piece/jewelry. A final polishing is then done by holding the piece against a
spinning grinding wheel to achieve smooth surface.
PAGE 25
FILING PROCESS:
Filing is a technique that helps in removing excess metal or solder from a piece
that is being worked on. It is a process wherein the casting layers is removed by using
different tools like files and burrs.it gives a smooth finish to the piece.
POLISHING :
Polishing offers a neat finish and enhances the value of a piece. Polishing
involves three steps, tumbling, pre-polishing and ultra-cleaning. jewelry pieces with
diamond require pre polishing before the diamond is set.
PAGE 26
STONE SETTING :
Stone setting is the art of securely setting or attaching gemstones in the jewelry.
Different types of setting are used to create varied designs. The different types of setting
PAGE 27
are prong, plate prong, pave, pressure, bezel, bead, flush, fishtail, invisible, miracle plate
and channel.
