Jewelry Designing- Who are Designers?

The profession of design aims to meet the needs of the modern world by designing in human terms where social purpose is combined with aesthetic expression and symbolic value.
The ‘inventor’ and the ‘designer’ are rarely the same person. Having the idea, proving the principle, inventing the process is done by both the inventors and the designers, but applying the principle, invention and the process so that it works on all levels is done only by the designers only. They are designers who turn inventions into products.
The designer’s true role is to turn the product in a better form which surrounds us in a better way not only in terms of function, appearance, cost and material but also in terms of aspiration, and desire in the dream of how good life might be.
Designers should b trained to help people solve their problems. A designers output depends on the clients vision and brief and on its corporate identity. A designer is a man who has an intension, which is normally conveyed to someone else to execute. One of the main element used by the designers are materials- which are modified by the process according to concepts to fulfill specific purposes.
Designers are not artist: they are market creators who can make new products by combining social trends and inner factors of their own corporation.

Jewelry Designing- what is Jewelry?

Jewelry is said as an ornament which is worn at different parts of the body, such as Rings, Earrings, Bracelets, Necklace etc. made out of Gold, Silver, and Platinum with different precious and semi precious gemstones. The first jewelry was made with bone, animal teeth, wood, shell and carved stone. The word jewelry is derived from the word jewel from the old French Jowel, also from the Latin word jocale which means plaything.

In ancient times jewelry was created basically for wealth, storage purpose. At that time period jewelry was now as symbol of status. Now jewelry plays a greater role in today’s world than it ever did in the past. No more it is use as the privilege of the wealth, for the broadening of the social structure of contemporary society and the burgeoning concepts of what jewel is? The basic appeal of jewelry lies in the satisfaction of primitive needs. Use becomes a means of releasing us to fantasize about ourselves, our lives and our world. Because the motivation of wearing jewelry involves elemental and eternal human concerns, the use of jewelry will persist in one form or another for as long as jewelry race survives. Jewelry is the universal language of art, love and memory.

Learn how to make Different Shapes

Day 5 to 8 - Another day to learn something interesting. As we are done with basic designs and are perfect with them, the very next step is to sketch curved strings with different patterns. These curved strings should be very much in proportions. As we are good with single curved strings, the next step is to draw strings connected to each other with same size and proportion in one flow. Drawing these strings help us to get flow in hand. On the other hand along with these strings we need to practice drawing different designs of leaf. These leaves should be proportionally drawn and we need to be very careful while picking up the pencil and again starting with the drawing. The thickness of the line should be the same if we do overwrite with the drawing then also the thickness should not vary. The finish of each sketch should be perfect. The other most important point to remember is that we should rotate the pencil in continuity so that the lead of the pencil remains pointed.

As we are perfect with these drawings the next step is to draw parallel lines, curved lines with equal distance between the lines. Along with this we need to draw symmetrical sketches of circles, leaves, curves, Strings in the inner side of the original image maintaining equal distance. While drawing these patterns when you lift the pencil up, one can move the sheet as per the convenience. These sketches should be well proportionate. Our hands should have an excellent flow as these patterns with little changes are normally used in designing the jewelry.

Now after the stationary, weneed to learn how to hold the pencil? And the rite way to hold the pencil is to hold it from the tip. While working with the pencil one should move

the pencil in a light manner. The movement of the pencil should be very light; it should not be moved by pressure on the page. We have to start the drawing with clutch Pencil0.5mm.

The first day starts by drawing straight lines,

circles, ovals, squares, rectangles, triangles, marquise, heart and pears shape with all different sizes and dimensions, straight lines with squares,curves, triangles, waves, semi circles.The most important point to keep in mind is that one should not lift the pencil while drawing and the pencil should move slowly. Then we draw spirals with 2 to 4 rounds. With this also we cannot lift the pencil nor we can over rite, it should be drawn in one flow with perfect dimensions.

These are the basics fundamental in jewelry designing which lead to perfection. The more you practice these patterns the more perfection comes within you. These patterns are normally used in all designs while designing jewelry.
