A Level Part 2 - Interchangeable Pendant Set

My Pendant Set

Art Nouveau Pendant
Silver dish and leaf with a vinyl cut design drawn out on CAD, example of how I enjoy complex designs, with a leaf highlighted with an tiny African amethyst stone.

Bauhaus Pendant
Silver base with silver wire boarder to hold black enamel with a round carnelian cabochon.

Art Deco Pendant

Copper Base dish with silver strips and stone sets. Enameling process and Chinese Amazonite set cabochons.

These are my pieces from A Level. I chose to design a necklace that could have inter-changeable pendants based on 3 design movements: Art Nouveau, Bauhaus, and Art Deco. I came across many challenges and learnt many new skills such as ways of enamelling, acid etching and vinyl cutting to apply the design.

GCSE Jewellery Box

GCSE Veneered Jewellery Box

This is my first attempt at making a box. It wasn't initially made with the purpose of becoming a jewellery box but after making the jewellery it became apparent that it would be a fitting function. I chose a Celtic knot design as the veneer top which I drew on CAD to create the sections.

The beginning for my jewellery journey

My discovery for my interest in jewellery design all start at GCSE where I chose my first brief. From here i began exploring with designs and materials resulting in my final pieces. A pendant and ring set made from silver with crimson tear drop cabochons...never did set myself an easy challenge, which, still to this day I'm known for not making much of my work very simple :)
