Solution

Bel Air developed a repeatable burnishing and polishing process for stamped silver jewelry belt components using a Roll Burnisher and Vibratory Finisher. The objective was to produce a bright, high-gloss finish while maintaining consistent appearance across production.

The process first burnished the stamped components to improve surface smoothness before vibratory polishing enhanced the overall brightness and finish. Different media, compounds, and process parameters were evaluated to achieve the desired cosmetic appearance while preserving the stamped details.

The completed process produced bright, consistent silver jewelry components with an attractive high-gloss finish suitable for production manufacturing.
