Over 100 Anjolee employees work diligently to bring you the highest quality product and a streamlined and environmentally safe manufacturing procedure. What makes our process environmentally safe? We recycle all materials preventing any unnecessary toxic discharge to the environment. Our entire process is green starting with extreme regulations on our waste recycling process. We collect all the waste and filter it so only clean discharge goes back to the environment. |  | The rest is sent to refining, or recycled to be used again. We pride ourselves on being an environmentally safe operation. |  Our Unique Manufacturing Process: Order Received An Anjolee order is received and reviewed by the processing team. Wax Production Team The order is then sent to the wax production team. Each jewelry design has it‘s own rubber mold for making replicas. The wax department injects liquid wax into the rubber mold where it will cool off rather quickly and then the wax is removed. A wax tree is used to hold all the cooled wax molds. Every wax tree is designed for a specific gold metal type and karat. | | Casting Department After the tree setup is complete; the casting department takes over and pours liquid investment over the entire wax tree. Multiple molds are worked on at the same time to make the best use of time and energy. After the investment hardens, the casting team puts the cylinder inside an oven. Trees stay in an oven overnight while the wax evaporates leaving only the investment. The investment is removed from the oven, and waits until the cylinder cools off. At the same time, pure gold and metal alloys are mixed to create the desired metal type and color. They melt this so the gold becomes pure liquid. Liquid gold is then poured into the cylinder to form the jewelry. Once the gold solidifies inside the cylinder, the casting team breaks the investment open and recovers the tree. The wax tree is completely gold. The tree is sent to the cutting team where all the links are carefully cut off the trees'. The trees stem is melted and re-used for future castings. After links are cut and sorted, they are separated for the various orders.  Assembly Department The links are then transferred to the assembly department where they put the links together tightly. The assembly team will verify that the number of stones is correct based on the customer’s order and confirm that the desired length or size is correct. Jewelry Department The assembled links are transferred to the jewelry department where they are soldered together. Any locks needed are attached as well as any last minute filing or touch ups on the item.  Polishing Department The polishing department takes over and conducts cleaning, final touch ups and polishing. Each stage in the polishing process has a quality control check to make sure the prior steps were completed properly. Diamond Setting The jewelry is then transferred to the diamond department. The diamonds have already been pre-sorted for the piece they are going to be a part of. The stone setter puts the stones in. Our professional stone setters are carefully setting each diamond to ensure security and to make sure the links are not compromised. Then the piece is transferred to the polishing department again.  Quality Control The piece goes through quality control where each piece is thoroughly examined and the metal quality is looked at. Additionally, the assembly, sturdiness of lock, and clasp is inspected to make sure the piece all components are functioning properly. The piece goes back to the production manager for secondary inspection. If it passes both of the quality inspection steps it is transferred to the shipping department where it is securely packed and shipped to the customer. To complete the shipping process, the item is packed inside a deluxe wooden box and an email notification is sent to the customer confirming it was shipped.
