- First of all, gold or copper (as the case maybe) is melted and a golden plate is formed from the liquid metal. Slowly and gradually, it is moulded into a golden thread by making it pass through a spinneret. This makes it thinner, thanks to each time the gold passes through the machinery.
- Upon becoming thin, the gold is made to pass through a spiral so that circles can be created. Following which chain rings are closed, welded and finally ‘hammered’.
- Now they are reopened and joined so that appropriate necklaces, earrings or bracelets can be created.
