Luxury hinge clasp for the box – elegant brass gold-plated craftsmanship by Kostylo Atelier

Precision craftsmanship: the goldsmithing behind our luxurious hinged clasps

Luxury hinges are handcrafted specifically for our wooden boxes, where we house our exclusive, handcrafted luxury goldsmith products. These hinges are our own creation, crafted solely within our workshop, catering to the needs of our unique and individual production.

We create luxury hinges from square brass rods, which we cut into appropriate pieces according to the measured hinge or clasp dimensions.

Here you can see how our luxurious hinges and clasps gold-plated with italian gold add prestige to our creations.

Next, we drill holes for the hinge, tap them for threading, and use a stepped drill bit to create a hole for the brass screw.

The next step involves preparing the fitted components, which were previously drilled and threaded, for silver soldering.

After silver soldering, we meticulously refine the luxury hinges using files and sandpaper.

We smooth each hinge and clasp with 800-grit sandpaper, followed by a polishing process to achieve a gloss, thus preparing our hinges for gilding.
Ultimately, our hinge looks like this.
