A question, I am on a fairly regular basis asks: "How can I become a jewelry designer?"
This question always surprises me again. I think I started doing many years ago and is not a real plan. It 'just sort happened. Many people who make me this question or even make a statement like "I'd Jewelry Design One day ... I would say that 99% of them ... never a piece of jewelry. You have good ideas for jewelry. She stressed, maybe some pieces, perhaps. But that's all. They have not strung a bead, a wire bent or touched a torch.
As I explained the basic steps to take before you, you can call the jewelry itself a "designer".
An example
My advice to these questions and statements are - prepare to be shocked Okay - just learn to make jewelry.
I know they are funny here, but I do not want to be. So, I'll give you an example that shows why you need to do the basics of jewelry of all kinds who plan, design, before hanging up "at work, the designer, cancel.
Have you ever seen the reality show Project Runway on Bravo, if you have a group of fashion designers and all sorts of funky stuff to win a contract?
This is one of the few shows that I have ever known, and the main thing I liked is that their design was to sit - not in use - and with a shelf sketches and scribbles something and then transferred to a flunky for sewing. They worked with a needle and thread snap -!
Had experience in databases. Jay, for example, in the end won the first season had even helped his mother and sisters to sew quilts. These people have an understanding of the material, color, strings and organ.
Regarding the example of jewelry
The same can be said of jewelry. You must use the equipment and operation of the institution, first to understand the design of jewelry.
Several times, I have what I think is a great idea, but when I start doing the bud, is not always as I believe it will. Trial and error and experience, becomes easier and easier for me, but I have to learn to work with metals, precious stones, glass, fiber work and other material before me on this point. I ask you a series of prototypes and take them for a couple of days before finishing a piece. Although I sketch pad full of ideas, these ideas, "" Hands-on requires effort - Crafts - before their physical reality.
A final suggestion on how to start designing jewelry
This is my advice then - it's too easy - and, yes, once you learn the basics there are a million steps to take next, but that's where you start. Maybe I do not agree with me, can also be argued that this is simply not true, because the big names in fashion that is not how it works. However, I bet that for every Cartier, there were first a young man sitting on a chair next to his teacher, who demonstrates that he received the rudiments of the trade.
