Professionals these days are sitting alone and staring at their computers. They spend years searching online for tools that will increase their workplace efficiency. They hunt through forums and watch lengthy videos, trying to find the right pieces of information.
Sometimes they just have one small question that would take a person two minutes to answer, but customer support lines are a thing of the past. Big companies will direct you to an FAQ that will hardly begin to answer your question.
We strive to bring human connection back to the work environment. Our tutors work directly with you to solve your problems, similar to the way an apprentice works hand-in-hand with a skilled professional.
Screen-share technologies like Zoom have allowed us to work together in real time. We can see each others' screens and cursors. We can switch from one screen to another to easily share information. We can even turn on our webcam for a more human interaction.
Sometimes our clients want to learn a program from beginning to end; sometimes they completely hand over the services to us; and other times, they want something in between.
Some clients want to be able to use the program on a basic level and let us do the hard stuff. Others want to co-work with us, supervising our work to ensure their artistic vision is realized. Along the way, they may learn some tools of the trade.
By the end of the process, some clients are able to wean themselves completely off of our services and are empowered to do the work themselves. If they get stuck or behind on a deadline, they use us as a lifeline. They can call anytime—even if it’s just a 10-minute question—we are here to help.
The most common materials used in jewelry design include gold, silver, platinum, diamonds, gemstones, pearls, and various alloys.
You can customize a piece of jewelry to suit your personal style by selecting materials, gemstones, and design elements that reflect your preferences, working with a jeweler to create a bespoke piece, or modifying existing jewelry with personalized engravings or adjustments.
To determine the correct size for a custom ring, measure the intended finger using a ring sizer or a measuring tape, or have the measurement taken professionally at a jeweler's. Make sure to measure the finger at the end of the day when it's at its largest and ensure the ring fits snugly but comfortably over the knuckle.
Commonly used software tools in the jewelry design process include Rhino, MatrixGold, ZBrush, Blender, TinkerCAD, Adobe Illustrator, and CorelDRAW.
It typically takes between 4 to 6 weeks to create a custom jewelry piece.
The latest trends in jewelry design include sustainable and ethically sourced materials, bold statement pieces, vintage-inspired designs, colorful gemstones, personalized and custom-made items, and the continued popularity of minimalist and dainty pieces.
When choosing a jewelry designer for a custom piece, consider their experience and portfolio, craftsmanship quality, design style compatibility with your vision, customer reviews, communication skills, the turnaround time for custom projects, and transparency in pricing.
To ensure the durability of your custom-designed jewelry piece, select high-quality materials, such as precious metals and gemstones known for their strength, work with an experienced jeweler, request proper settings that protect stones from damage, and follow recommended care instructions, including regular cleaning and maintenance checks.
To get started with designing your own jewelry, begin by sketching your ideas on paper or using design software to visualize your concepts. Next, gather the essential tools and materials such as beads, wires, clasps, and pliers. Consider taking a beginner's class or watching online tutorials to learn basic techniques. Experiment with different styles and materials to find your unique design aesthetic. Practice regularly and don't be afraid to make mistakes, as this is part of the learning process.
Designing a custom piece of jewelry typically involves the following steps: consultation, concept development, sketching or CAD modeling, selection of materials and gemstones, approval of the design by the client, crafting and setting by skilled artisans, and a final inspection to ensure quality before delivery.
