1. Introduction to Openwork Jewelry

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

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

2. Designing the Rose-Shaped Pendant

Key Design Considerations

  • Pattern Complexity (more details = higher cost)

  • Мөлшер & Қалыңдық (affects material usage)

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

Software Used

  • Ата-тор (Rhino, Матрикс, ZBrush) for 3D modeling

  • Vector (Adobe Illustrator) for laser-cut designs

Example Design Specs:

  • Diameter: 25mm

  • Қалыңдық: 1.2mm

  • Материал: 925 Күміс құйындысы

3. Materials Selection

Материал Pros Cons Ең жақсы
925 Күміс құйындысы Premium finish, Қиғашқа төзімді Higher cost High-end jewelry
Жез (Gold-Plated) Қол жетімді, жан-жақты May tarnish over time Сәндік зергерлік бұйымдар
Тот баспайтын болат Durable, hypoallergenic Harder to cut finely Minimalist designs

4. Manufacturing Methods

4.1 CNC Machining

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

  • Ең жақсы: Precise geometric patterns.

  • Cost: $8–$20 per unit (Moq 50+)

4.2 Лазерлік кесу

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

  • Ең жақсы: Ultra-fine details (E.Г., petal textures).

  • Cost: $5–$15 per unit (Moq 100+)

4.3 Кастинг (Lost-Wax & 3D Басып шығару)

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

  • Ең жақсы: Organic, curved rose shapes.

  • Cost: $10–$30 per unit (Moq 20+)

4.4 Қолмен жасалған

  • Өңдеу: Artisans cut and solder metal wires.

  • Ең жақсы: Custom one-of-a-kind pieces.

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

5. Step-by-Step Production Process

Адымдау 1: CAD Design & Prototyping

  • Create a 3D model of the rose pendant.

  • Test print in wax or resin before metal production.

Адымдау 2: Metal Cutting/Forming

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

  • If casting, inject molten silver into a mold.

Адымдау 3: Cleaning & Жылтырату

  • Remove burrs with ultrasonic cleaning.

  • Polish to a mirror or matte finish.

Адымдау 4: Желник (Ерікті)

  • Gold/Rhodium plating for extra shine.

  • Antique oxidation for vintage effects.

Адымдау 5: Сапаны тексеру

  • Check for defects, weight, and dimensions.

  • Test plating durability (salt spray test).

6. Бастау & Plating Options

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

7. Сапаны бақылау & Testing

  • Өлшемді дәлдік (caliper measurement)

  • Plating Adhesion Test (tape peel test)

  • Tarnish Resistance (humidity chamber)

8. Cost Breakdown

А. Material Costs

Материал Cost per Unit
925 Күміс (25mm) $6–$15
Жез (Gold-Plated) $3–$8
Тот баспайтын болат $4–$10

B. Labor & Production Costs

Method Cost per Unit
CNC Machining $8–$20
Лазерлік кесу $5–$15
Кастинг $10–$30
Handmade $50–$200

C. 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:

  • Жаппай өндіріс (1000+): $10–$25/unit

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

  • Custom Handmade: $80–$300/unit

9. OEM vs. ODM Production

  • Onem: 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. Қытай: Low-cost, high-volume (Moq 500+)

  2. Тайланд: Handcrafted excellence (Moq 50+)

  3. Италия: Luxury craftsmanship (Moq 10+)

11. Case Study: 500-Unit Production Run

  • Design: Laser-cut sterling silver rose pendant

  • Фабрикант: Guangdong Jewelry Co. (Қытай)

  • Cost: $12/unit ($6,000 total)

  • Timeline: 25 күн күн (including shipping)

12. Қорытынды & Recommendations

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

  • Best for Luxury: CNC-milled 925 күміс

  • Best for Small Batches: Кастинг + hand-finishing

Next Steps:

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

  2. Request quotes from 3–5 manufacturers.

  3. Order samples Толық өндіріске дейін.
