For over 30 years, Kennington Jewelers has been providing custom-made jewelry aimed to inspire and reflect the personality and lifestyle of each individual. Some clients appreciate design guidance for their custom jewelry, while others have a special look in mind that they need assistance creating a tangible work of art. We are able to cater to the needs of each client and create the heirlooms they desire.
Since 2008, Kennington Jewelers is the the only Central Valley jewelry store with a milling machine for precision wax models. Kennington Jewelers has had the privilege of custom designing over 1500+ designs for our customers on our 3D matrix program. We first start off with a consultation to see exactly what you’re looking for. Once a deposit is given we start the custom design process. Check out our step by step custom process shown below.
Step One: Auto CAD
We start by creating a CAD (computer-aided design) of your desired design.
Step Two: Wax
Once the CAD image is approved we move forward to cutting a wax model.
Step 3: Make the Mold
We then make a plaster mold with the wax inside.
Step 4: Burn Out
The mold then has to harden in an “oven” and the wax burns out
Step 5: Casting
After the plaster has hardened we can now pour the metal of your choosing into the mold.
Step 6: Polish
Once the item has cooled, we wash away the plaster and start polishing away the rough surface.
Step 7: Setting the Stones
Once the surface is smooth and clean we set the stones of your choosing.
Step 8: Finished Piece
We do a final polish after the stones are set and complete our quality check to ensure all the stones are secure.
