From Concept to Creation: Inside the Tender Objects Studio
Design Evolution: Capturing Imagination on Paper
Inspiration Our design journey begins with inspiration drawn from the world around us. From the delicate petals of a flower to the intricate patterns found in nature, we seek inspiration from a variety of sources to fuel our creativity and ignite our imagination. |
|
Sketch and Concept Design Once inspired, we translate our vision into sketches and concept designs. These initial sketches serve as the foundation for the creation process, capturing the essence of the envisioned piece and laying the groundwork for further refinement. |
|
Computer-Aided Design (CAD) Using technology, our designs are brought to life through Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software. This allows us to refine and perfect every detail of the design, ensuring precision and accuracy in every aspect of the piece. |
|
Prototyping and Refinement With the CAD designs finalized, prototypes are crafted and meticulously refined through an iterative process. Each prototype is carefully evaluated and adjusted as needed, ensuring that the final design meets our exacting standards of quality and craftsmanship. |

Craftsmanship in Motion: Bringing Designs to Life
Mould Creation & Silver Casting Once the design is perfected, wax moulds are created to serve as the blueprint for production. These moulds are then used for silver casting, laying the foundation for the creation of each piece. |
Smooth and Polish Our skilled artisans meticulously smooth and polish each piece by hand, ensuring a flawless finish that enhances its beauty and brilliance. This meticulous attention to detail ensures that every piece is as stunning as it is durable. |
Plating To enhance durability and longevity, our jewellery undergoes a plating process. This involves adding a thick layer (0.5-2.5 microns) of yellow gold / champagne gold / rose gold, which not only enhances the beauty of the piece but also protects it from tarnishing and wear over time. On top of this, we also add a clear protective coating to prevent the gold from oxidising. |
Stone Setting Precious and semi-precious gemstones are carefully selected and set by hand, showcasing their natural beauty and brilliance in stunning arrangements that complement each design. Our skilled craftsmen take great care to ensure that each stone is securely set, allowing it to shine brightly for years to come. |
Quality Checks Before reaching you, each piece undergoes rigorous quality checks to ensure that it meets our exacting standards of craftsmanship and excellence. From the precision of the setting to the smoothness of the finish, every detail is scrutinized to ensure that it meets our unwavering commitment to quality. |
