Run a deliberate final inspection against the approved order before finished gold jewellery moves to packing, delivery or customer handover.
Final inspection should compare the physical piece with the approved order and focus on the characteristics that matter for that particular item. Typical checks include metal requirements, size, weight, stones, soldered areas, surface finish, engraving, movement and general presentation.
A checklist is useful because “looks fine” is difficult to audit. Specific checks give the inspector a defined opportunity to identify a mismatch before the item moves to the next stage.
A visual/process checklist cannot prove metallurgical strength, fatigue life or compliance with every product-specific standard. Additional testing may be required for particular products or risks.
