- Annotation: The article is devoted to the modern gemstone jewellery casting technology. The advantages, disadvantages, and benefits of this technology are considered. It is shown that the use of gemstone casting technology allows for a significant reduction in the production process, significantly saves the gem setter’s highly skilled labour, and reduces the cost of manufacturing jewellery. The requirements for the materials used, the features of stone selection, the requirements for their size and shape, the features of the design and construction of cast products, the most common types of defects and methods for their elimination, and the requirements for the operations of firing the moulds and pouring the metal are noted. It is shown that the technology under consideration can be successfully used in production only under conditions of high technological discipline.
