Waterjet cutting is a specialist trade service used in jewellery manufacturing to create accurate profiles from metal sheet for components, mount blanks, templates, and prototypes. In Hatton Garden, London, it can support workshops and designers who need repeatable parts cut from gold, silver, platinum, and other metals before finishing at the bench.
Most providers work from CAD or vector files and can deliver waterjet cutting (often abrasive) for complex outlines with clean edges and minimal heat distortion compared with thermal cutting methods. Typical requests include pattern pieces for bespoke commissions, test parts for new collections, and small-batch elements that will later be drilled, soldered, set, engraved, or polished. As with any cutting service, results depend on material thickness, tolerances, and the finish required, so suppliers usually confirm specifications and advise on allowances for later finishing. Hatton Garden listings help you compare capability, lead times, and file requirements. This category is for jewellers seeking trade suppliers, not retail consumers.
