CONTEMPORARY JEWELRY DESIGN

The contemporary jewelry designer works creatively within a team or individually as a modern craftsman, using digital techniques as additional tools to the arrangement: three-dimensional modelling (CAD) and the creation of virtual images, 3D printing, management of automated workflows (CAM). The course introduces theoretical concepts giving importance to materials and technologies, with the support of professional goldsmiths and craftsmen and with the aim of achieving specific manual skills necessary to design and make jewelry. Drawing is the bridge between imagination and reality and it must be continuously refined; the practical hours in the laboratory are necessary to work with the material and to learn the basic goldsmith techniques. During the course, subjects related to communications and marketing are also dealt with.
