I have done various projects in various jewelry classes I took. It been 7 years that I haven't taken jewelry classses to where I was taken them. The place have close down and there only theater and music there. It is a shame. It is close to where I work. There is another place I can go but it is a bit far away from where I live. It is not even close to where I work. In fact, it is a bit in a no where lost place.
Here the photos of some project I have done:
The one box shaped was a lot of work. I have done it with the lost wax technique. The ring was a bit a swearing project. In class, not everyone liked doing it. I think the worst was doing it for the first time. It was a bit long. The teacher was showing each step and we had to replicate it. The soldering on the bracelet was delicate. Here a closer look at the bracelet:
On it, there is a peridot, a lapis lazulis and a garnet. Each have its own form. The peridot is a small round. I wonder if it can be called a cabochon. The lapis is a cabochon. The garnet is a square. I need to polish this bracelet. It is a bit oxidized, I think. I don't have a buffing wheel right now. I don't know if it can be done with a rag. Worth a try.
I also have done a project around two years ago on another place and it was with silver clay.
The class was done in a jewelry school. I didn't took the second level. One level was enough for me. Maybe I will take it later on, when I would want to refresh myself or have enough questions to go for it. It have to be worthy of the expanse.
I also have done a few projects that had been inspired by some classes I took at a local craft store since the place I was to was close:
The ring is a close up look from the preceding images.
