The Essential Guide to Digital Jewelry Design introduces the world of CAD Jewelry Design using Rhino, the most versatile 3D modeling program and Grasshopper plug-in which is integrated into the newest versions of Rhino, known as a GAE (Graphical Algorithm Editor). With the help of Grasshopper algorithms, you can create modeling procedures easily, enable simulations, modify, iterate and find better results by manipulating parameters. The book helps you better understand how to recreate your designs on the computer using the latest computational design techniques. Learn to build both simple and complex designs, and use the tips to extend your knowledge base for more advanced 3D Jewelry modeling.

Professional secrets of jewelry making are revealed in a thorough, practical guide. Over 200 illustrations.

Over the past twenty years, a seismic shift has occurred in jewelry design and manufacturing. As digital design, digital model-making, and prototyping have elbowed their way into common practice, they have proven themselves to be both invaluable and disruptive to the jewelry profession. Bringing together the perspectives of artisans, educators, students, mavens from the realm of fine jewelry, renegades from the Wild West of the maker movement, and innovators from the digital engineering sector, Digital Meets Handmade addresses a wide range of topics in jewelry design, delving into the broad conversation around how digital technologies and virtuoso handcraft can coalesce in jewelry as wearable art. While one might expect a collision of cultures—"fine jewelry" craftspeople versus digital engineers—the result instead is a dazzling array of critical thinking, with stunning illustrations that foretell the future of jewelry.

The art of designing and creating jewelry is known as jewelry designing. The common forms of jewelry are belly chain, earring, necklace, ring, tiara, bracelet, anklet, etc. Some of the methods used in designing jewelry are the traditional hand-drawing or drafting methods. Modern day technology has made crafting of jewelry easier and less time consuming. For all those who are interested in jewelry designing, this book can prove to be an essential guide. It explores all the important aspects of the subject matter in the present day scenario.

Discover step-by-step jewelry-making tutorials and how-tos covering the basics of jewelry making. We cover an array of techniques that will help open up many doors in your jewelry-making journey. In this book, not only do we discuss what's needed to start your silver & beaded jewelry-making venture but also provide several projects you may want to try out. The actual process of turning a piece of silver into a piece of jewelry is not only very technical but also allows your artistic side to flourish. Once you've finished making silver jewelry either for yourself or for someone else, it can prove extremely satisfying, especially as you watch the piece develop and grow.
