Designers Jewellery :: Typical skill sets

With the progress of technology, the jewellery designer has more sophisticated tools at their disposal than before.

To design Gold jewellery there is a definitive process requiring different skills at every stage.

Jewellery requires an almost bizarre collection of skills from engineering and an architectural sense for construction, metallurgy and gemology for materials, chemistry for alloying and a sense of art, balance and good taste for aesthetics.

And, if that is not sufficient, the marketing skills to sell or pre-sell their own creations are needed.
