What you need to know about the manufacturing process
Preparation of Metal:
Each Whitehouse piece of jewelry begins as raw material. Pure Platinum, Gold and Palladium are melted to form an
ingot, which is then rolled or drawn into sheets and wire. The simple form of metal working is the essential part to
ensuring the integrity of Whitehouse Brothers jewelry. The basic materials of wire and sheet are used as the first
step to create our die-struck and handmade jewelry.
Die-Striking:
Every Whitehouse Brothers piece of jewelry is manufactured using the die-struck process. Hundreds of special dies
have been handmade in our shop over the past 115 years. Our precious metal sheet is forged into dies under many
tons of pressure to the shape and form of rings, pendants and earrings.
Whitehouse Brothers is one of few jewelry firms still
manufacturing using the die-struck method. This
process produces a product that is far superior to the
industry standard of casting. Die-striking metal under
extreme pressure creates a product 33% stronger and
denser than a casting. The benefit is a longer lasting
product, secure settings for diamonds and gemstones,
and a mirror-like luster unobtainable by other
methods.
Assembly:
A Whitehouse Brothers piece of jewelry will begin to
take form during hand assembly by our
craftsmen. Filigree details will be pierced using saw
blades as small as a human hair. Each die-struck
component is individually polished to achieve the
highest finish inside and out. Welding and soldering techniques are used to assemble the blank shape from many
parts. After assembly, the blank form will be filed, sanded, and polished to a fine finish, creating the palette for the
diamond setter and engraver to create their masterwork.
Setting:
Whitehouse Brothers specializes in very fine setting of diamonds and gemstones. Using small cutting tools, known
as gravers, precious metal is carved to form the setting work for each stone. Carved areas around the stones are
known as bright cuts. The mirror finish of a bright-cut reflects light towards your eye, enhancing the appearance of
diamonds and gemstones. Fine hand setting is an integral part of producing a well-made piece of jewelry.
Engraving:
Engravers finish the details of each piece of Whitehouse Brothers jewelry. The shape and style of our rings,
pendants and earrings are embellished with bright cut designs and patterns by an engraving artist. Hand-cut borders
around the work take shape as rows of small beads, known as milgrain. The engraver completes the artistic
composition by tying all components of shape, piercing, and setting together.
Finishing:
A final polish is applied as the last detail. Bright areas are polished to the highest finish attainable. The final
product is a piece of jewelry that feels and appears like no other. Whitehouse Brothers jewelry has the quality and
glowing luster that only 115 years of manufacturing fine jewelry can create.
