It started with wax and a workshop.
Garo Kupelian has been designing and making jewelry since 1995. Today his Beirut workshop ships 2,000+ of his designs to retailers in 20+ countries.
Most of our designs begin as a wax model, carved by hand.

Mold making
A rubber mold is taken off the hand-carved master.

Wax models
Wax is injected into the mold, and the copies built onto a tree.

Casting
The wax burns out and molten brass takes its place.

Sprue cutting
Cut off the tree, filed back, tumbled clean.

Assembly
Posts, hooks and clasps soldered on by hand.

Polishing
Compound on the wheel, undercuts finished by hand.

Plating
Cleaned ultrasonically, then gold in the plating bath.

Quality check
Checked piece by piece before packing.

Packed & shipped
Counted, wrapped and sealed here, shipped by DHL.
Every one of these steps happens in our own workshop.
