Paraton
(Holdings) specialized in the manufacturing of a wide
variety of fine custom designed jewellery products with
real gold / silver / platinum or gold / silver / white
metal plating. Every jewellery piece is inspected
carefully to ensure that the quality is maintained
throughout the manufacturing process, providing our
customers with confidence in the outstanding quality of
our jewellery pieces.
Our service
excels in consulting, design and product development
from the beginning right through to the final product
assembly in our administration and production sections.
We are fully equipped to produce one-off prototypes all
the way to full-scale productions. Our company is
organized into two separate sections, the administrative
section (consisting of administration, design, computer
services, stone selection, wax-setting and silver
modelling casting) and the production section
(consisting of casting, trimming, setting, plating and
refining sections). |
| When you provide a
design, sample part, a photo or a sketch to
our administration group, we will be able to
fulfill your needs by utilizing our systems
in place and we will work with you to meet your
specifications. From the simplest to the most
elaborate and sophisticated project, we will
be able to analyze any proposal you might have
and suggest the most suitable jewellery processes
and materials for your application. |

started with 100 people. Today, we have over
500 employees and are capable of overseeing
all aspects of the production without relying

of the factory is modern and efficient with

Providing a safe

security and safety issue of hazards or precious
materials storage and handling. All members are trained

the duration of the process. We have resident trained

on-going maintenance of our equipment and materials. All
hazardous materials are kept in a safe room with 24-hour
security surveillance to prevent mishandling and
accidents. |

The Design
Department
After obtaining the idea or a sample of the
product from our customer, our in-house design-consulting
group would discuss the details with the customers
such as the stone size, materials and the
production time required. |

The Wax Setting
Department
All orders are checked before casting. A QC
inspector will first check to see that the
required stone will fit the sample piece.
Then the inspector will check to see if the
wax models are set properly. The items are
then returned for casting. The work force
of 19 can wax 5,000 pieces of stone for "parvie"
and set 2,500 pieces of stone for channel
setting daily.
The Casting Department
Our Casting department melts the customer
specified precious metal mix and cast the
pieces. The amounts of all materials used
are recorded. Then, the pieces are sent on
to the QC department for cutting of the roots.
The gold casts are now ready to be "tramled"
in the polishing department. When the process
is completed, the casts are returned to the
QC department to match with the orders.
All the mountings are then grouped by order
and trimmed. Upon completion, the order is
sent back to the polishing department for
cleaning and semi polishing. At this juncture,
the QC inspection team will decide whether
or not to proceed with settings.
The Setting Department
Our Setting department will allocate work
based on levels of experiences possessed by
our setters. Upon completion, the item will
be returned to the central QC department for
re-inspection and approval. This production
allows an experienced setter to complete up
to 2,000 pieces consisting of 12,000 stones
in one week.
The Plating Department
In our Plating department, we continue the
polishing and the cleaning process of the
items. Firstly, we polish the surface of the
items with American wood plate using Grey
wax. Secondly, using a yellow cloth and wheel-brushes
we remove any blemishes found on the items
caused by the sand blasting process. Thirdly,
a white cloth is applied with red wax for
polishing to enhance the shine of the items.
For earrings and pendants, we use 3 inch felt
brushes to clean their insides. An ultra sound
machine now washes all items. A soluble solution
or magic plating will then be applied to any
item that requires additional rhodium treatment.
The finished item is then returned to the
QC department for inspection and approval.

|
The QC
Department
Our inspectors monitor the
entire process, examining all elements of the individual
jewellery pieces thoroughly, including stamping, loose
stones, smoothness and plating of each individual piece
from the beginning to the end. At the end of each
process, each item is checked for imperfections. If none
are found, only then will each item be approved for the
next step in the process. When the individual pieces are
finished, the QC department will perform a final
inspection before approval is given for the pieces to be
delivered to the customer.
