Vanna K Introduces Advanced Jewelry Technology

VANNA K INTRODUCES EnvisionTEC -
GERMAN PRECISION TECHNOLOGY
TO ITS CUSTOM DESIGN PROCESS

LOS ANGELES - May 17, 2013

Based in Lake Balboa, California, Vanna K is located in over 30,000 square feet of its advanced technology manufacturing facility. While they are known for their extraordinary quality of vintage-inspired, award-winning, unique diamond engagement rings, they are also known for their advancements in jewelry technology. That is why it's no surprise they would introduce the EnvisionTEC technology to their jewelry-making process. The EnvisionTEC 3D printer is leading the market in multiple jewelry industry verticals.

Designed to be used with 3D CAD systems, the EnvisionTEC machine utilizes the extremely reliable digital micro mirror device technology from Texas Instruments. This technology gives designer Vanna Kitsinian the ability to dream up the most intricate pieces of jewelry and gives our hand-crafting artisans the incredible capabilities to extend, create and improve more detailed diamond ring designs. It also gives them the ability to make the designs faster, using resin moldings and models in its direct vacuum pressurized casting process, thus excluding imperfections caused by basic wax moldings. This advancement in jewelry manufacturing makes it the perfect choice for micro pave or invisible diamond settings.

Arch Kitsinian, President of Sales and Marketing, had this to say about the introduction of the technology: "The venture into this technology is the perfect timing for us here at Vanna K Bridal and Fashion Jewelry. It gives our diamond setters better quality castings during the microscopic diamond setting process, for a more secure and accurate precision micro pave setting. This allows us the opportunity to create intricate vintage inspired styling for our artisans sitting on the jewelers bench."

You can now take advantage of this technology to customize our beautiful jewelry even further to create your own unique masterpiece. To get started, visit us today at Vanna K!

Deciding Between Platinum or Gold

At Vanna K, we primarily feature platinum settings throughout our entire collection. The reasons for this are beyond what is simply trending in fashion right now. There are advantages to each of our favorite precious metals, which have been highlighted for you.

Platinum is most couples' first choice in precious metal. It's steely white color won't change over time, and it is truly a rare metal. Platinum is more dense and malleable than gold, so naturally, the prongs are more likely to resist injury. A platinum engagement ring is the ultimate choice in precious metal. It's hefty weight, feel and durability is unsurpassed. While over time platinum will take on a brushed, antique look called "patina", it can easily be polished to look as if it is new. However, after years of wear, It can be much more difficult to get this same polished "new" look in gold. 

Premier designers like Vanna K prefer to work with a white metal (platinum or white gold) when creating diamond jewelry. This is because the near-colorless diamonds used in the setting will refract light. A white metal, especially one as pure as platinum, will allow that light to refract in a pure, bright and brilliant way. Hence, the result makes the color grade of the diamonds look more white. 

Additional differences between platinum and gold are the purity levels between the two. Yellow and white gold are mixed with other metals in order to achieve karat status. This can cause issues in maintenance and can also cause chemical or allergic reactions to those who wear the jewelry, sometimes even causing a discoloration to their skin. However, the platinum used in our facility is a very close to "pure" metal and is also hypoallergenic, which makes it ideal for those with sensitive skin. 

Gold still has many advantages in its court as well. For many, the timeless tradition of gold, and the symbolism of status and power cannot be matched by any other metal. Gold is also a form of currency in this world that is currently growing in value. There are many women whose skin tones simply look better against a yellow gold. Or if you prefer the white metals / silver tones, white gold is a much better option for those wanting the look of platinum, with a more affordable price tag. Most importantly, gold is luxury defined and will undoubtedly maintain its status through every trend for the rest of time. 

Ultimately, it is your choice in which metal you choose for your unique diamond engagement ring. Vanna K uses the best in platinum, as well as the purest 18K gold. With the key differences between platinum and gold clarified, you can now make the most educated choice as to what is right for you. And, no – there is no wrong answer, as long as she says yes.
