See the process
From recovered metal to a new piece
Recycling brings existing precious metal back into the manufacturing process. Our gold video shows melting and refining, while our silver video follows the transformation of recovered silver into jewelry.
For your collection, material planning comes together with design development, sampling and approval before production.
Designed for your collection
Your aesthetic, your specifications
Your material choice is one part of the design. Shape the proportions, surface texture, stone settings and finish around your brand’s aesthetic, from everyday pieces to statement collections.
Review the 3D design and physical sample with our team so the finished jewelry follows your approved specifications.
Clear sourcing requirements
Define what recycled means for your project
Tell us about your recycled-content, sourcing and documentation requirements when you share your brief. This helps us review the material options against the needs of your collection.
Confirm the agreed metal specification and available documentation with our team before placing your order.
From idea to production
Plan your collection with Bamina
3D modelling typically takes 3–4 days, followed by around one week for sampling. Production typically takes 2–3 weeks after sample approval, depending on the quantity and complexity of the designs.
Explore our full manufacturing process, including approval and payment stages.
