- Annotation: The article considers the design and manufacturing features of cast jewellery with textured and relief surfaces. The processes of mass reduction and deformation of the relief and textured surface of cast samples made of the most common silver alloy in the jewellery industry, CрМЦ925, as a result of polishing were experimentally studied. It is shown that the surface texture is almost completely polished as a result of traditional finishing polishing operations in production. During the tacking operations, the shape of the relief protrusion schanges – corners and protruding parts deform more, and flat areas of the surface lose their shapeless. Technological recommendations have been developed to preserve the shape and size of the cast surface relief in production conditions. The recommendations developed were used in the process of designing and preparing exclusive rings dedicated to four outstanding geographical sites in Russia: “Frozen Baikal”, “Rocky Caucasus”, “Sandy Kaliningrad”, “Fiery Kamchatka”. Each ring has an original shape, relief of the side and upper surface, reflecting the essence of the geographical location.
- Keywords: cast jewellery design, exclusive quantities, surface polishing process, surface tumbling, changing shape of relief when polishing, surface texture changing during polishing, technological recommendations for preserving surface cast relief.
