FAQs
What is jewellery sandblasting?
Jewellery sandblasting is a technique used to ensure jewellery has an even, textured surface. It works by blasting tiny particles of sand or other abrasive materials at high speed against the metal to create a patterned surface. This method is often used to produce a matte finish but can also be used to add texture and contrast.
The process begins by selecting the type of abrasive media used for the jewellery's finish. The particles are then placed in a blasting chamber which directs them onto the piece at extremely high pressure, resulting in a smooth finish.
What is a sandblasting machine used for in jewellery making?
A sandblasting machine is a jewellery-making tool that uses compressed air to project an abrasive material onto the surface of a piece of jewellery, such as a ring or necklace, to modify its outer layer. This technique is usually used to create intricate designs or patterns on the jewellery. It can also leave a smooth finish.
In addition to creating a clean, even finish on jewellery pieces, sandblasting provides several other benefits. It’s an attractive option for manufacturers who need quick turnaround times without sacrificing quality or aesthetics.
It increases durability by strengthening the bond between metal particles and minimises the chances of scratches and dents. It also improves corrosion resistance and can help restore dulled finishes by removing oxidation and tarnish accumulated over time on the jewellery surface.
