How is a custom piece of jewelry made?
Shah: The first step is for the jewelry design to be drawn out by the artist. The artist then redesigns the piece for casting. A wax mold is made of the piece. This piece is then shown to the client for approval. The client can decide on the metal and gemstones for the piece. Once approved, the final product is cast, cut, cleaned, polished, and packaged in-house. If the client is local the piece will be hand-delivered to him/her and if they are out of town it will be shipped to them. Tell us about your silver jewelry on the website. Shah: Noir’s silver jewelry is trendy and affordable. It is made using Italian silver. Italian silver tarnishes less and allows for the finish to be almost like platinum. All metals come in the brushed and polished finishes. There is a limited number of each design on the site. What is your signature packaging for your jewelry? Shah: Metal Noir’s signature packaging is a black velvet pouch or a black lacquer box. Each piece is engraved with the “NOIR” signa
