So
then, what makes for a good classically conceived and manufactured jewellery
design?
What propels a random
concept of thought, within the mind of the designer, to become a reality of
beauty and individual expression fashioned of Gold and Gem?
Good jewellery design in all its infinite forms must have at its most basic foundation, two key elements...... "Line and Balance". Without this, your precious investment will always and only be, a structure to hold shiny expensive things and not an amazing form of beauty that represents your individual style.
My journey as a classically trained jeweller began a year before I left
school in 1973. Since then I've worked some 110,000 hours on the jewellery
bench perfecting my skills. As I look back on my career, I realize
the journey from jewellery maker to jewellery designer manifested itself,
strangely, separately and yet one could not exist or be nurtured without the
other.
