1. Introduction to Openwork Jewelry

Openwork (or filigree) jewelry features intricate cut-out designs, making it lightweight yet visually striking. أ rose-shaped pendant in this style requires precision manufacturing, typically using:
CNC machining (for sharp, clean edges)
Laser cutting (for delicate patterns)
Investment casting (for organic shapes)

This guide covers how to produce an openwork rose pendant and analyzes cost factors based on materials, تَعَب, and order quantity.


2. Designing the Rose-Shaped Pendant

Key Design Considerations

  • Pattern Complexity (more details = higher cost)

  • مقاس & Thickness (affects material usage)

  • Attachment Method (bail, jump ring, or integrated chain)

Software Used

  • CAD (وحيد القرن, Matrix, ZBrush) for 3D modeling

  • Vector (Adobe Illustrator) for laser-cut designs

Example Design Specs:

  • Diameter: 25مم

  • Thickness: 1.2مم

  • مادة: 925 الفضة الاسترليني


3. Materials Selection

مادة Pros Cons الأفضل ل
925 الفضة الاسترليني Premium finish, مقاوم تشويه Higher cost High-end jewelry
النحاس (Gold-Plated) بسعر معقول, متنوع القدرات May tarnish over time مجوهرات الأزياء
الفولاذ المقاوم للصدأ Durable, hypoallergenic Harder to cut finely تصميمات الحد الأدنى

4. Manufacturing Methods

4.1 CNC Machining

  • عملية: A computer-controlled router cuts the design from a metal sheet.

  • الأفضل ل: Precise geometric patterns.

  • يكلف: $8–$20 per unit (مو 50+)

4.2 قطع الليزر

  • عملية: A laser burns through metal to create intricate designs.

  • الأفضل ل: Ultra-fine details (على سبيل المثال, petal textures).

  • يكلف: $5–$15 per unit (مو 100+)

4.3 صب (Lost-Wax & 3D Printing)

  • عملية: Wax model → Plaster mold → Molten metal casting.

  • الأفضل ل: Organic, curved rose shapes.

  • يكلف: $10–$30 per unit (مو 20+)

4.4 تصنيع اليد

  • عملية: Artisans cut and solder metal wires.

  • الأفضل ل: Custom one-of-a-kind pieces.

  • يكلف: $50–$200 per unit (Labor-intensive)


5. Step-by-Step Production Process

خطوة 1: CAD Design & النماذج الأولية

  • Create a 3D model of the rose pendant.

  • Test print in wax or resin before metal production.

خطوة 2: Metal Cutting/Forming

  • CNC/laser cuts the design from a sterling silver sheet.

  • If casting, inject molten silver into a mold.

خطوة 3: Cleaning & تلميع

  • Remove burrs with ultrasonic cleaning.

  • Polish to a mirror or matte finish.

خطوة 4: تصفيح (خياري)

  • Gold/Rhodium plating for extra shine.

  • Antique oxidation for vintage effects.

خطوة 5: فحص الجودة

  • Check for defects, وزن, and dimensions.

  • Test plating durability (salt spray test).


6. الانتهاء & Plating Options

ينهي Effect Cost Addition
High Polish Mirror-like shine +$1–$3
Matte/Satin Soft, non-reflective +$2–$5
طلاء الذهب Luxe rose gold/yellow gold +$3–$10
Oxidized Darkened vintage look +$4–$8

7. ضبط الجودة & Testing

  • Dimensional Accuracy (caliper measurement)

  • Plating Adhesion Test (tape peel test)

  • Tarnish Resistance (humidity chamber)


8. Cost Breakdown

أ. Material Costs

مادة التكلفة لكل وحدة
925 فضي (25مم) $6–$15
النحاس (Gold-Plated) $3–$8
الفولاذ المقاوم للصدأ $4–$10

ب. تَعَب & Production Costs

Method التكلفة لكل وحدة
CNC Machining $8–$20
قطع الليزر $5–$15
صب $10–$30
مصنوعة يدويا $50–$200

ج. MOQ Impact on Pricing

Order Quantity Price per Unit
1–50 pcs $25–$80
50–200 pcs $15–$40
200–1000 pcs $8–$25
1000+ pcs $5–$15

Total Estimated Cost Range:

  • إنتاج متسلسل (1000+): $10–$25/unit

  • Small Batch (50–100): $20–$50/unit

  • Custom Handmade: $80–$300/unit


9. OEM vs. ODM Production

  • OEM: You provide the design; factory produces it.

  • ODM: Factory designs & manufactures for you.

Best Choice?

  • Startups → ODM (lower design cost)

  • Established brands → OEM (full customization)


10. Top Manufacturers

  1. الصين: Low-cost, high-volume (مو 500+)

  2. Thailand: Handcrafted excellence (مو 50+)

  3. إيطاليا: Luxury craftsmanship (مو 10+)


11. دراسة حالة: 500-Unit Production Run

  • تصميم: Laser-cut sterling silver rose pendant

  • الشركة المصنعة: Guangdong Jewelry Co. (الصين)

  • يكلف: $12/unit ($6,000 total)

  • Timeline: 25 أيام (including shipping)


12. خاتمة & Recommendations

  • Best for Budget: Laser-cut brass (gold-plated)

  • Best for Luxury: CNC-milled 925 فضي

  • Best for Small Batches: صب + hand-finishing

Next Steps:

  1. Finalize CAD design (or use ODM catalogs).

  2. Request quotes from 3–5 manufacturers.

  3. Order samples قبل الإنتاج الكامل.
