Having the right equipment is key to the success of every jewellery maker. Luckily, the industry offers jewellery producers an expansive array of tools for sizing rings, cutting diamonds and gemstones or stone setting, as well as high-technology gem-testing equipment to meet their manufacturing needs.

Manufacturing essentials and jewellery-related supplies abound to meet every jewellery trader’s unique requirements. Depending on the task at hand, jewellery manufacturers can choose from a wide range of top-quality precision measuring tools and scales, latest technology solutions, modern machinery and gemmological tools.

Continued innovation in jewellery design however is bringing about new trends that require modern, upgraded equipment. Some producers are testing the waters of 3D printing, engraving and combining traditional and unconventional materials, among others, to stay ahead of the competition.

Electroforming, computer-aided design and manufacturing or CAD/CAM, computer numerical control or CNC machines, to name a few, are also increasingly being employed by companies in major jewellery-producing markets.
