Charm pendant finishing
Budget: £750 – £1,500 GBP
I've designed 4 flat, cast, pendant charm designs. They are for a school to sell to girl leavers. We have made prototypes but now we need to make flawless finished pendants.
They are each to have a mirror finish, some drilling and a jump ring. They are very simple. So far I have done drawings of the 17-19mm pendants before jump-ring is added, a colleague has converted the drawings for using with a 3D printer. Our 3D printer does not create a flawless finish and that's what's needed. We were thinking of using a casting house (I've used one in Hatton Garden before) and then sending the cast pendants to a finisher to polish, drill and add jump-rings. I will find out shortly how many are needed. They will be made in silver somewhere between .8 and 1mm thick, and possibly in gold later, and I need to talk to the finisher about the best way to achieve this. I can come up to London or somewhere near Oxford. I'll bring the prototypes. We would like them quite soon so I'm trying to get on with the project.
I don't want a price now, I'm looking for the right person to handle the stuff professionally, and I might want them to do my own range later.
The present designs are: a teddybear, a chapel tower, a flower from a tile, and a stylised cockerel from a weathervane - all very plain.
Please get in touch if you would like to discuss the project. We can provide electronic designs and you organise the casting or you would get cast but unfinished pendants. It might be 50 of each to kick off.
