STEP 1 Stamping Molding
Molds the metal surface to form the design.
STEP 2 Outline Cutting
* Cutting molds are made separately, then cut to the exact outline of the design. * Additional outline cutting molds may be required depending on the complexity of the design. * If a center hole or cut-out is required, an additional cut-through mold must be used.
STEP 3 Attachment
Solder attachment onto the back of each piece.
STEP 4 Plating
Plating now can be processed. The quality of plating varies with the length of time the metal is soaked in the plating liquid.
STEP 5 Polishing

STEP 6 Coloring
* Soft enamel is carefully inserted by hand, one color at a time, using different sized syringes. * Drying. * To prevent defects, a high degree of skill is required in order to keep each color and the correct amount of enamel in the proper area.
STEP 7 Cleaning
Excess col or and impurities are then wiped off the metal surfaces.
STEP 8 Baking
The metal piece is baked at approximately 450F for12 to 15 minutes.
