Features: This book focuses on the materials, techniques, and design of jewelry. Materials are the physical of jewelry design, while techniques are the technical means to materialize design concepts, serving as an intermediate process. In recent years, an increasing number of hobbyists have joined the field of jewelry design. Unfortunately, many jewelry-making techniques are still preserved within a small circle of jewelry artists and some technical personnel in jewelry factories and have not been widely promoted. Therefore, this book emphasizes materials and techniques as its key content. The book covers topics such as tools and equipment for jewelry making and their usage, practical handcrafted jewelry-making techniques, general methods and principles of jewelry design, and more. It is suitable for students, hobbyists, and handcraftsmen who already have a certain foundation in art and design. The book summarizes, organizes, argues, and develops the principles of materials, techniques, and design, representing the author's experience in jewelry design practice over several years.
