Fine Jewellery Design 1
A strong foundation in jewellery design is the basis for many jewellery career paths.
A good sketch can close a sale; effective renderings reveal the designer's spirit and build excitement for the design; accurate technical drafts communicate fabrication requirements to any jeweller. Together with a focus on practical, beautiful and comfortable design, these skills ensure competence and understanding in this most creative and limitless field.
Learn, from first principles, the fundamentals of jewellery design. No prior design or art experience is required! By the end of this course you will complete a portfolio of designs and leave with a clear understanding of how to design beautiful jewellery that is durable, saleable & suitable for manufacture.
