Project 2

Project 2

Create a piece that has at least one prong set stone. You may also use any other settings we have gone over and any other skills you know.

For inspiration, think about light. Prongs are designed to let as much light as possible contact the stone and bounce around in the facets. How can you use light in other ways in your piece- choice of materials? Colors? Surfaces? Challenge yourself to interpret light in a piece of jewelry. If you get stuck, think about forms of light- sun, rays of light, electric, fire, etc.

For next week- Have 10 designs or maquettes of pieces as well as the stone(s) you are planning to use. Sketch to scale- especially when working with stones- this helps the layout and fabrication tremendously/

Important Dates:

Designs due February 16.
