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.
