Ortak designers use modern technology and our dedicated research of history and fashion to create gold and silver Jewellery collections. This benefits our customers who can be assured that Ortak Jewellery is always at the contemporary leading edge and authentic to its design roots.
Model Making
This process is carried out by Ortak's craftsmen using techniques and methods handed down over decades. The final master is the result of close cooperation between designer and craftsman - giving the piece a real hand crafted pedigree. The designers concept and drawings are used by the Modelmaker to create the original piece of Jewellery - known as the 'Master'.
Moulding
When the master piece of Jewellery is complete, it is used to make a high-tech mould, which in turn is used to make wax replicas of the Jewellery.
Casting
The wax replicas are placed in steel flasks which are then filled with investment powder and the flasks are heated in a furnace to 550°C which solidifies the powder and evaporates the wax leaving behind a perfect impression. Molten gold or silver is then poured into the flasks, allowed to cool, then dismantled to reveal the Jewellery in casting form.
Finishing
These castings which are perfect replicas of the original masters are then hand finished to Ortak's high standards - adding fittings and settings before being dispatched to all corners of the world.
