Major fashion and sterling silver manufacturers such as the Shavonne Corporation incorporate all the newest technology to create the finest jewelry possible for an affordable price.  The master model maker is ultra important and must create an actual physical model from the VR.  This requires incredibly tedious hand crafting skills.  The model maker usually is unaware if any specific jewelry piece is being developed for the retail or wholesale market.  The model maker realizes any imperfections allowed in the master model will then cause an imperfect mold.

The finished model is then used to create very special molds for casting.  Ofttimes a ring is manufactured for the wholesale jewelry buyer in 7 actual sizes. This requires the work of an equally talented master mold maker. If the model maker miscalculates even the smallest amounts, the size will not be exact.  Let’s say you are looking to purchase a size 7 ring as that size always fits just right, but you try on one you really like, and it is marked size 7, and it doesn’t fit properly.  Ask the salesperson to use a steel ring sizer to measure the ring for you.  If the mold maker made a mistake, it could result in slightly larger or smaller than a true size 7.

THE SHAVONNE FASHION JEWELRY BLOG!!

As many of you may know, blogs are becoming more popular among not only people but businesses. Shavonne has decided to take that next step as well!

We will be bringing you detailed information about the jewelry industry in both retail and wholesale perspectives. President/CEO Donald Gist will be making some posts regarding manufacturing processes and the general overview of fashion jewelry compared to fine jewelry and hopefully many more topics. We will also be presenting posts by different members of our staff discussing questions that may come often when they speak with you over the phone or email as well as other useful tips to keep you uptodate on the latest styles. I, the webmaster, will also be making a few posts when I want to let everyone know about changes that are taking place on our website (like the new look that you probably saw right before coming here) and also to give the common answers to common technical issues that I have heard about with our website and hopefully some useful solutions for you to try.

Now for a short little Blog introduction from Mr. Gist about what you can expect from him.

“Beautiful jewelry dates back some 3,000 years and always has been the source of much pride and joy.  In today’s modern world, beautiful jewelry basically is created by talented designers, manufactured in very clean factories,  and distributed through wholesale jewelry firms to the retail jewelry world. Since 1956, the Shavonne Corporation has been involved in every aspect of this entire industry, and the information we will share with you is from this 52 year background.

In future blogs, we will be sharing with you some real “insider” facts about the various metals used, and what you can expect for wearability from these metals.  We will also provide useful information on the various stones that are the most popular; and the proper care to retain their brilliance and wearability.  How to understand the various hallmarks, code numbers and letters that are used throughout the world.  And, some truly helpful insights on how these hallmarks will help you to understand what you are actually buying.”

Alright, now as I mentioned above, we do have a new site look! You can checkout this new look by visiting our homepage http://www.shavonne.com/ but chances are that you came here from there so leave us a comment and let us know what you think about it. Also, if you have any questions about something that we may have moved around then feel free to ask and I will try my very best to answer every question left in the comments section.

Thanks for visiting Shavonne and hopefully we will have a regular blogging schedule soon but for now, just keep checking back to see whats new!
