About the Course
After passing the Primary course students can take part in our Advanced courses. Lessons and materials that will be presented in this course are followed from the “Jewelry Design with Computer Volume 2” book. In this course we focus on designing and modeling complex pieces such as rings, pendants, bracelets, necklaces and earrings.
Also during this course we teach how to model bangle & tennis bracelets, multi-piece bracelets and necklaces and their working mechanism as well. Since precious metal and gemstones are very expensive, we also focus on reducing the weight of the jewelry pieces we design in the book; without affecting its beauty and form by introducing various techniques for designing and modeling.
In this course we try to teach concept design tips and practices as well that will help to upskill the student minds in becoming creative, practical and precise in their designs. During the course we also go through other subjects such as introducing new brands, jewelry styles and English terms as well. Eventually we work to develop students to work for jewelry workshops and big companies as a designer.
