Creature Jewellery
Kobe
A personal interest in jewellery making that began at school in Technology classes has inspired this project. With some limited experience in jewellery making, the student decided that she wanted to extend these skills and create a range of animal-themed jewellery that would serve as prototypes for future designs, giving her more experience in this field of design. This process of design and production may result in an opportunity to attend a design-based course at college or university. The range was limited by the high cost of raw materials such as gold and precious stones. The student resolved to substitute materials such as silver, brass and copper for these initial designs.
