The combined talents of three top jewelry designers have created this practical step-by-step guide to the art of jewelry design.
Including the expertise of a professor who teaches the craft to jewelry students, this book offers both professional insight and hands-on instruction for aspiring designers and artisans.
It begins with a fully illustrated discussion of design principles, along with metal and stone rendering techniques that form the foundation of jewelry sketching and visualization.
From there, the book presents progressive detailed sketches and finished drawings of many varieties of ring and earring designs, helping readers understand how ideas are developed from concept to finished illustration.
These drawings serve as the essential blueprint from which manufacturing jewelers can create the finished pieces.
This book teaches not how to make the jewelry itself, but how to create the precise and beautiful drawings that bring jewelry designs to life.
Praise for The Art of Jewelry Design:
“This book is destined to become the bible of the designer, the guide of the artisan, and the companion of the jewelry lover.”
—Samuel Beizer, Chairman, Jewelry Design, Fashion Institute of Technology, New York
