In a world where fast fashion and mass production dominate, true craftsmanship is becoming increasingly rare. But at Richie Gold & Diamond, it’s the foundation of everything we do. Every ring, necklace, bracelet, and custom design begins not with a machine — but with a vision, a sketch, and the hands of a master artisan.
This is your behind-the-scenes look into the art of jewelry making at Richie, where precision meets passion, and beauty is born from brilliance.
A Legacy of Handcrafted Excellence
Richie Gold & Diamond isn’t just a jewelry brand — it’s a name built on generational knowledge, skilled artistry, and an unwavering commitment to perfection. Each piece is designed and crafted in-house by our team of experienced jewellers who blend traditional techniques with modern innovation.
Our process is rooted in respect for time-honored methods — from hand-carving wax molds to meticulous stone setting — but elevated by today’s precision tools, ensuring every detail is flawless.
Step One: Inspiration Meets Design
It all begins with a concept. Whether a client is commissioning a bespoke engagement ring or selecting from one of Richie’s signature designs, the process starts with understanding the story behind the piece.
Our designers collaborate with clients to capture their vision, sketching out concepts that blend elegance, emotion, and personal symbolism. These sketches are then translated into digital CAD (Computer-Aided Design) renderings, allowing for precise visualization and approval.
Step Two: The Art of Casting and Shaping
Once the design is finalized, it moves into the casting phase. Using the lost-wax casting technique, a detailed wax mold is created and then encased in a plaster-like material. The wax is melted away, and molten gold or platinum is poured into the mold, forming the foundation of the piece.
Our jewelers then begin the meticulous work of filing, shaping, and refining the raw casting, sculpting it into a beautifully balanced frame ready for its final transformation.
Step Three: Stone Selection and Setting
Every diamond and gemstone used in a Richie piece is hand-selected for brilliance, clarity, and ethical sourcing. Whether it’s a solitaire diamond or a halo of sapphires, our gemologists choose stones that reflect not just value — but soul.
Stone setting is one of the most delicate and skilled stages of the process. Our master setters carefully place each stone under a microscope, ensuring perfect alignment, symmetry, and durability. This is where true artistry meets technical precision.
Step Four: Finishing Touches
Once the stones are set, each piece is meticulously polished by hand to bring out its full luster and light performance. Engravings, adjustments, and final inspections are performed to ensure the piece meets Richie’s signature standard — flawless, elegant, and enduring.
Before it leaves our studio, every piece undergoes a strict quality control process, backed by certification, warranty, and — most importantly — pride.
A Difference You Can Feel
The difference in Richie’s jewelry isn’t just seen — it’s felt. It’s in the weight of the gold, the fire of the diamonds, and the smoothness of every curve. Our clients don’t just wear our pieces — they carry the legacy of artisanal excellence, personalized just for them.
From classic engagement rings to bold custom creations, Richie Gold & Diamond is a brand that believes in doing things the right way — with craft, care, and character.
