1. Introduction to Openwork Jewelry

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

Denne vejledning dækker how to produce an openwork rose pendant and analyzes cost factors based on materials, arbejdskraft, og ordremængde.

2. Designing the Rose-Shaped Pendant

Key Design Considerations

  • Pattern Complexity (more details = higher cost)

  • Størrelse & Tykkelse (affects material usage)

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

Software brugt

  • CAD (Rhino, Matrix, ZBrush) for 3D modeling

  • Vector (Adobe Illustrator) for laser-cut designs

Example Design Specs:

  • Diameter: 25mm

  • Tykkelse: 1.2mm

  • Materiale: 925 Sterling sølv

3. Materials Selection

Materiale Fordele Ulemper Bedst til
925 Sterling sølv Premium finish, anløbsbestandig Højere omkostninger High-end jewelry
Messing (Forgyldt) Overkommelig, alsidig Må pløje over tid Mode smykker
Rustfrit stål Holdbar, hypoallergenisk Harder to cut finely Minimalistiske designs

4. Manufacturing Methods

4.1 CNC bearbejdning

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

  • Bedst til: Precise geometric patterns.

  • Koste: $8–$20 per unit (MOQ 50+)

4.2 Laserskæring

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

  • Bedst til: Ultra-fine details (F.eks., petal textures).

  • Koste: $5–$15 per unit (MOQ 100+)

4.3 Casting (Lost-Wax & 3D Udskrivning)

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

  • Bedst til: Organic, curved rose shapes.

  • Koste: $10–$30 per unit (MOQ 20+)

4.4 Håndfremstilling

  • Behandle: Artisans cut and solder metal wires.

  • Bedst til: Custom one-of-a-kind pieces.

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

5. Step-by-Step Production Process

Trin 1: CAD Design & Prototyping

  • Create a 3D model of the rose pendant.

  • Test print in wax or resin before metal production.

Trin 2: Metal Cutting/Forming

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

  • If casting, inject molten silver into a mold.

Trin 3: Rensning & Polering

  • Remove burrs with ultrasonic cleaning.

  • Polish to a mirror or matte finish.

Trin 4: Plettering (Valgfri)

  • Gold/Rhodium plating for extra shine.

  • Antique oxidation for vintage effects.

Trin 5: Kvalitetsinspektion

  • Check for defects, vægt, and dimensions.

  • Test plating durability (salt spray test).

6. Efterbehandling & Plating Options

Slutte Effect Cost Addition
High Polish Mirror-like shine +$1–$3
Matte/Satin Blød, non-reflective +$2–$5
Guldbelægning Luxe rose gold/yellow gold +$3–$10
Oxideret Darkened vintage look +$4–$8

7. Kvalitetskontrol & Afprøvning

  • Dimensionel nøjagtighed (caliper measurement)

  • Plettering adhæsionstest (tape peel test)

  • Sær modstand (humidity chamber)

8. Omkostningsfordeling

EN. Materielle omkostninger

Materiale Cost per Unit
925 Sølv (25mm) $6–$15
Messing (Forgyldt) $3–$8
Rustfrit stål $4–$10

B. Arbejdskraft & Production Costs

Metode Cost per Unit
CNC bearbejdning $8–$20
Laserskæring $5–$15
Casting $10–$30
Håndlavet $50- $ 200

C. MOQ Impact on Pricing

Bestilsmængde 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:

  • Masseproduktion (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. Kina: Low-cost, high-volume (MOQ 500+)

  2. Thailand: Handcrafted excellence (MOQ 50+)

  3. Italien: Luxury craftsmanship (MOQ 10+)

11. Casestudie: 500-Unit Production Run

  • Design: Laser-cut sterling silver rose pendant

  • Fabrikant: Guangdong Jewelry Co. (Kina)

  • Koste: $12/enhed ($6,000 total)

  • Timeline: 25 dage (including shipping)

12. Konklusion & Recommendations

  • Best for Budget: Laser-cut brass (forgyldt)

  • Best for Luxury: CNC-milled 925 sølv

  • Best for Small Batches: Casting + hånd efterbehandling

Næste trin:

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

  2. Request quotes from 3–5 manufacturers.

  3. Bestil prøver before full production.
