OUR ATELIER

The Art of Haute Goldsmithing

A seamless dialogue between time-tested techniques and rigorous structural engineering.

PHILOSOPHY OF THE ATELIER

Purity of Material, Mastery of Form

Every jewel created in our atelier begins with noble raw materials: 22kt and 18kt hallmarked gold, conflict-free natural diamonds, and hand-selected colored gemstones. What transforms them into heirlooms is the patient touch of master craftsmen.

THE FIVE DISCIPLINES

The Journey of an Heirloom

From initial gouache concept to the final laser hallmark verification.

Lal Chand HandaStage 01: Design & Conception
01Stage 01

From Imagination to Gouache

Every design begins as a series of hand-painted gouache illustrations. Our designers study weight distribution, metal reflection, and skin ergonomics to ensure the piece wears as beautifully as it looks.

  • Color-accurate gouache rendering
  • Ergonomic wearability and drape studies
  • Structural balance testing

The Crucible of the Karigar

Master goldsmiths melt, alloy, and hand-draw gold into precise ingots, wires, and sheets. Using traditional anvils, files, and sawblades, the gold skeleton takes its distinct structural shape.

  • 100% BIS hallmarked gold alloys (22kt & 18kt)
  • Traditional hand-filing and fret-sawing
  • Precise interlocking hinges and safety catches

Microscopic Precision

Our setters work under stereoscopic microscopes, carving prongs, bezels, and jadau channels by hand. Each diamond and gemstone is positioned at the precise optical angle to maximize fire and scintillation.

  • Micro-pavé, bezel, channel, and Jadau settings
  • Microscopic claw calibration
  • Gemstone security verification
Lal Chand HandaStage 04: Polishing & Burnishing
04Stage 04

Reflecting Light Without Distortion

The jewel undergoes five distinct polishing stages using natural bristle wheels, cotton mops, and diamond paste. Hard-to-reach internal galleries are hand-threaded to ensure no edge is left unrefined.

  • Hand-stringing of intricate galleries
  • Contrast satin-matte and mirror-bright finishes
  • Rhodium and gold micron protection
Lal Chand HandaStage 05: Hallmarking & Quality Assay
05Stage 05

The Mark of Uncompromised Trust

Before any piece enters the showroom, it undergoes laser assay testing for metal purity and full gemological documentation. Only when it passes our 24-point quality inspection is it stamped with the Lal Chand Handa seal.

  • Government-approved BIS Hallmark laser engraving
  • IGI / GIA certification documentation
  • 24-point structural & aesthetic sign-off
