We produce 3’000+ of jewelry per month. Since 2015, we have created 1’000+ different jewelry designs and

Exceptional craftsmanship
We use 925 (sterling) silver, gold (yellow, white, rose, 14K and 18K), platinum and bronze to create jewelry. VARVAR provides the full cycle of jewelry production: from the first sketch of the future items to the packaging of the finished jewel in a branded box.Also VARVAR creates jewelry with precious and semi precious gems like amethysts, citrine diamonds, emeralds, rubies, sapphires, etc. Here at VARVAR, we buy gemstones only from the mining jewelry companies. All stones are tested for quality, beauty, and durability.
Different jewelry types
Currently, the brand's lineup has 10 collections, and we are planning to expand the line. The main collections are Viking, Egyptian, Classic, Masonic, etc.We create rings, pendants, cufflinks, chains, bracelets, beads and custom designed jewelry.
Process of jewelry creation
- First we make design:
- Sketch - the designer draws the first sketch of the future jewelry on paper;
- 3D model - a specialist creates a 3D model of the item in a graphics editor on a computer;
- Plastic prototype - items can be crafted using milling - to make simple ornaments, or 3D printing for more complex ones.
Formation:
First, we take plasticine the size of a small box. Then the jewelers press the plastic prototype into the mold so that its imprint remains in the plasticine.Waxing:
We fill the plasticine mold with hot wax and wait for the wax to harden. Then we need to glue some wax figures to a special cylinder.Casting
We dip a cylinder with wax jewelry into a casting box and pour a special mixture into it. Next, we need to pour hot metal into a wax cylinder. As a result, the wax melts and evaporates, and metal gets the shape of jewelry.
Jewelry processing:
- Primary processing. Removing extra pieces of metal from the jewelry.
- Grinding. The jewelry is grinding to make it smooth.
- Soldering. Sometimes a piece of jewelry consists of several parts. Then the assembler melts the metal and joins the pieces together.
- Blackening. The metal needs to be blackened to make every detail eye-catching. The jewelry is grinding again to become silvery black, which makes the details stand out.
- Polishing. For a mesmerizing shine, craftsmen polish almost finished jewelry.
- Adding a stone. The final stage is when gemstones are inserted into the jewelry.
Why does VARVAR jewelry change the perception of beauty?
In these collections, each detail has its own hidden meaning and carries it to the masses, reproducing a certain ornament or symbol.
If earlier we aimed to create thematic jewelry, now we are looking towards the trends of classic jewelry for women and men all over the world. We are convinced that thanks to BARBAR jewelry, everyone will feel like a superstar.
