14.Pruning and beat and multiple polishing ,last QC

Cut off all the arms of the ring and all the arms of the bracelet. Because of all the components, the bracelet arm is the most stressed and worn area. After the inverted mold, the density of gold is not enough. It needs to be forged by a senior technician for a long time to change the thickness of gold to make it stronger and more durable.

Hammer first, and then polish with a file to make the gold jewelry more delicate and smooth. Then check the interior of the jewelry. Sandpaper all the dead corners, and use grinding needles, grinding wheels, disc grinding wheels, and other tools for fine grinding, further shaping. Much of the gold cannot recover in the forging process, which adds to the cost.

Grinding needle, grinding wheel, disc grinding wheel, and other tools for fine grinding. This process is generally impossible to see in gold production because the loss is enormous.

After polishing, all the products will be handed over to quality inspection, which is to check the fine artistry and check the purity of gold with imported nuclear element gold meter. The qualified products will be put into storage. The unqualified products will be returned to the factory for re-production.
