Powder Metal Components for Fine Jewelry & Custom Rings

The manufacturing capabilities that produce miniature gears for medical devices contribute to exceptional detail and consistency in jewelry components. Our expertise in small metal parts allows us to handle dimensions and tolerances required in jewelry component manufacturing.

Net-Shape Precision for Complex Geometries

Powder metallurgy eliminates secondary machining while achieving intricate details impossible through casting. Complex internal geometries and surface patterns emerge directly from sintering. For custom rings incorporating rotating bezels or interlocking mechanisms, powder metallurgy creates components that fit precisely without hand finishing. Beyond dimensional precision, we offer various surface finishing options to achieve desired aesthetic qualities, including burnishing (polishing) to create a smooth, reflective surface as well as plating in various metals to provide high-end finishes. Our tooling and inspection equipment ensure dimensional consistency across production runs. Textures, patterns, and relief details replicate as designed, enabling jewelry concepts requiring components that interlock, rotate, or articulate.

Achieving Functional Art: Custom Gear Rings

Jewelry incorporating functional mechanical elements represents the intersection of engineering and artistry. Consider a custom ring featuring miniature rotating gears instead of traditional stones. We can manufacture individual gear components with tooth profiles accurate for reliable meshing. The ring structure incorporates precise mounting features, allowing gear rotation without binding. Each element must mesh precisely while rotating smoothly, with tolerances accommodating finger movement while maintaining visual appeal.

This approach extends to other jewelry concepts requiring rotating elements, articulated components, interlocking pieces, or miniature functional mechanisms. Our experience manufacturing small precision components allows us to reliably handle both engineering challenges and aesthetic requirements.

Jewelry designs pushing traditional fabrication limits require manufacturing partners who understand precision at a miniature scale. We work with manufacturers requiring mechanical precision, complex geometries, or custom material characteristics.

What to send for our team to review:

• Design files (CAD, STEP, or technical drawings)
• Material selection (platinum, stainless steel, copper, brass)
• Target finish or plating requirements
• Expected quantity ranges and timeline
• Critical tolerances and feature dimensions

Lead times typically range from 6-8 weeks for initial tooling, or 4 weeks for repeat orders once tooling is established. We work to solve problems quickly and remain accessible throughout your project timeline.
