Custom Jewelry Maker
I have noticed that during Christmas and Valentine’s day one jeweler will come out with the year’s “it” jewelry and everyone will copy it- for example the Trinity ring, or this past years Journey pendent. If you want to go against the norm, become a jewelry designer. As a custom jeweler you will need to know multiple techniques for soldering and metal fabrication techniques, in addition to workability of metals, testing of metals, and finishing techniques. Other than knowledge about metals, you will also need to know about gemology, enamels, and specialty materials like perhaps glass or plastic.

In the picture above you see an artist’s interpretation of jewelry. She considers the body the piece of “metal” that would be the base for the “gem,” which in this case is light. Her designs reflect onto the body to create her jewelry.
