Mold Making

We work with two types of molds: natural rubber and silicone.

Mold making relies on a technique called vulcanisation, which allows us to create multiple copies of the same jewellery design. Each mold is carefully stored in our archive, enabling us to reproduce the piece at any time in the future.

CAM resin can be used directly to create a silicone mold. However, for rubber molds, a silver master is required to ensure optimal precision and impeccable quality.

Jewellery mold making in Tunisia: rubber and silicone molds

At Atelier KBS, a jewellery workshop in Tunis, mold making lets us produce multiple copies of the same design. It follows the master model, made through 3D printing or in silver.

Each type of mold has its own requirements: a 3D-printed resin model can be used directly to make a silicone mold, while a rubber mold needs a silver master for the best precision and quality.

Once made, every mold is archived, so your piece can be reproduced at any time. The next stage is wax injection. See every step on our Services page.
