6. PROCESS
DESIGN- From the imagination to paper. The birth of a Carrera
y Carrera jewel starts in its design department. Nature, Spanish
character, art, mini-sculpture, and the unmistakable matte-
gloss finish combination serve as a guide for the brand design
experts in creating the collections.
SCULPTING WAX- The piece that has been previously drawn is
precisely and painstakingly sculpted by the expert hands of the
modelers in a block of hard wax, giving each model and piece
the maximum detail. In this manner it is possible to appreciate
the volumes and come as close as possible to the final
appearance of the piece. If the result is optimal, the piece is
then created in silver and worked on until it is perfect to obtain
the master prototype of the piece.

7. FROM WAX TO GOLD- A completely traditional process. Using
the master prototype in silver from the previous step, a rubber
mold will be made into which liquid wax will be injected to
produce the models that will later become jewels. These are
retouched by hand one by one, and placed in a “tree” that will
be transformed into gold through a lost wax melting technique,
the traditional process that the firm continues to use today.
SOLDERING- The final touch of fire on the piece The gold piece
arrives at the solderers, who are charged with cutting, filing,
sanding, soldering, and assembling all the parts. Manipulation
of the raw material is a laborious process that requires
dexterity, dedication and a special ability that is acquired only
from experience.

8. SELECTION- Brilliant choice In the Carrera y Carrera
gemological laboratory, one by one the gems for each piece are
analyzed, classified, and selected according to their quality,
color, size, and weight for later setting. Keen vision and a
steady hand are essential to this painstaking process in the
creation of the piece.
SETTING- Precious stones integrated with the metal. The gold
pieces reach the hands of other artists, the setters, who are in
charge of fitting, adjusting, and securely holding the piece in
the metal. These professionals must be very rigorous in their
work to ensure that the stones are inseparable from the metal.
In this manner the setters bestow a permanent shine to the
Carrera y Carrera jewels.

9. MATTE-GLOSS FINISH- The brand’s trademark The Carrera y
Carrera matte-gloss finish is a secret jealously guarded by its
master jewelry artisans. Through its contrast, this finish allows
a greater appreciation of the details of the small sculptures
and to observe the velvet-like effect of gold.
POLISHING- High quality in every detail. The process of
creation of a jewel culminates with hand polishing as a seal of
high quality. Once this process is complete, the reference
number indicating each piece as unique is engraved on the
piece, and the brand hallmark that certifies the piece was
made by Carrera y Carrera is punched in. To complete the
piece, an exhaustive quality control takes place during which it
is decided whether the jewel meets the brand’s exacting
quality standards.
