I design jewelry in a state-owned enterprise in Shanghai (in fact, I think I am a handyman).
I studied jewelry in university, worked for three years, and designed a series of full-service cities, hand-painted, jcad, carving wax, hand-made, gem identification and sales.
If you want to learn jewelry design without an art foundation, it will be very difficult in the early stage.
You need to look through many jewelry books and see many ornaments.
You have thought about every setting method of gems, and the structure of jewels.
Some basic hand-drawing tools should also be prepared, such as 0.3 mechanical pencil, 003.005-pin pen, emerald soft template, ruler, eraser and so on.
I like to paint with watercolors, and beginners can use water-soluble lead. You can find some ways to draw gems online and draw them bit by bit.
I put a little gem that I drew casually.
Jewelry making needs a professional jewelry making table. I'll send one of mine.
The workbench was a mess, so I put my tools in drawers.
Actually, I haven't made anything for a long time, and my tools are all in the drawer. Usually when I am happy to make things, I will put them on the table and put gold in the drawer to reduce losses.
Beginners are all basic skills, such as welding, filing and sawing. If there are no other flower heads, sawing a straight line will be enough for a while. I saw a friend answer that she was an independent designer. I know that she has started a class to teach jewelry design, so she can consult.
I also have a classmate who took a course in jewelry design in Shanghai. Design, handwork and computer drawing have all started classes. I hope I can help you.
