The finishing disciplines

Stone Setting, Jewelry Finishing and Laser Engraving

Setting and finishing turn a manufactured form into the jewelry its designer intended. BCJExport coordinates these capabilities within custom fine jewelry manufacturing for retailers, jewelers, designers and brands in Bangkok.

STONE SETTING & FINISHING

Look closely at the result.

Stone setting and finishing are where precision becomes visible.

The setting must hold each stone securely while respecting the proportions and character of the design. From there, polishing, engraving, enameling and final detailing bring the piece to its finished appearance.

At BCJExport, these stages are considered as part of the same manufacturing process rather than as separate finishing steps.

From setting to final surface

01 / STONE SETTING

A place for the stone

Stone dimensions, setting style and the surrounding metal all influence how the piece is prepared and finished. When stones are already selected, their measurements can be considered from the design stage.

02 / FINISHING

The final surface

Polishing and surface finishing refine the appearance of the metal and bring definition to the finished piece. The intended finish is considered alongside the construction and setting.

03 / DETAIL

Engraving and enamel

Laser engraving and enameling can add detail, identity or colour to a finished design. Where required, these elements are considered before production so they work naturally with the piece.

ONE PIECE, MULTIPLE DISCIPLINES

One piece, multiple disciplines.

A finished piece may pass through several specialist hands — manufacturing, stone setting, polishing, engraving, enameling and quality control.

The important part is that each stage follows the same approved design and intended result.

BCJExport can also work with customer-supplied gemstones where appropriate, or coordinate gemstone sourcing and custom cutting when stones are still required.

PREPARING YOUR PROJECT

Which details should you share?

When starting a setting or finishing project, it helps to include:

  • the jewelry design or CAD, if available
  • gemstone dimensions and quantities
  • whether stones are customer-supplied or need to be sourced
  • the intended setting style
  • the required surface finish
  • any engraving or enameling details
  • whether the project is a finished piece, semi-mount or unset jewelry
  • any target date or production requirement

These details help our team review the piece as a complete manufacturing project before production begins.
