Drawing for Jewelers: Master Class in Professional Design

by Maria Josep Forcadell Berenguer, Josep Asunción Pastor

This book teaches how to use drawing as means of expressing a jeweler’s creative ideas. In jewelry, there are other ways of creating which do not stem directly from working in the studio. The most important of these is drawing, an extremely useful tool for jewelers due to its speed and adaptability. Mastering this tool can be a great resource that can help jewelers to progress easily and steadily with designing jewelry and presenting their ideas and projects. Drawing allows creative ideas to be clearly visualized; on paper, the form or proportions of the jewelry can be modified quickly and confidently, the structure of clasps and hinges can be studied. It can also be used to visualize how a design will look with a polished or matt finish or with other changes such as different materials. This manual can be read from cover to cover or consulted when facing challenges in real projects.

As a goldsmith I would like to have more in dept information about drawing for customers and making technical drawings with measurements. Also how to consider any technical aspect of the making process in the designing and price point, material choice, etc. All of this is not or just briefly mentioned. But there is no step by step explaining and no examples. This book is more about how to draw different shapes, shadows and colors. It is an in depth book about how to draw and what to use when drawing. Very useful for the beginner. Not so for the professional.
