Before a single cut is made, every design goes through a 3D CAD rendering and wax molding process, allowing you to approve the scale and fit of your piece before we cast it in 18K gold or platinum. Transparency is the foundation of our work at Kanni Gems. With over 25 years in this field, we know that trust is built on what happens behind the scenes. When you walk into our Charni Road studio, you are not just buying a product; you are participating in a process that spans generations. ### From Sketch to Reality Our design process is built to eliminate guesswork. We begin by listening to your specific requirements, whether you are repurposing an old heirloom or dreaming up a new engagement ring. Our team sketches your ideas, which we then translate into 3D CAD designs. Before any metal is cast, you see a 3D rendering of the piece. We then create a wax model so you can understand the volume, comfort, and fit, ensuring the final piece feels as good as it looks. ### Commitment to Quality Once the design is locked, our artisans begin the hand-setting process. We source ethical stones and use BIS hallmarked 22K gold or high-grade platinum. Our commitment to you is absolute transparency regarding gold weight, wastage, and stone specifications. We provide certification for all diamonds through GIA or IGI, so you have complete peace of mind about your investment. ### Why We Work This Way Jewellery is often bought for major life events, yet it is worn in everyday moments. By focusing on the structural integrity—such as durable screw-back earrings, comfort-fit shanks, or modular clasps—we ensure your jewellery is not just a delicate accessory for a single day, but a durable treasure that lasts a lifetime. We invite you to visit us in Mumbai to see how we turn ideas into reality. ## About Kanni Gems I am Falguni Kotak, and for over two decades, I have believed that the most beautiful jewellery is the kind that carries a story. At our Charni Road studio, my team and I do not just manufacture pieces; we listen to your memories and handcraft them into gold and diamonds that you will hold onto forever.
