For my Digital project I have decided to create a jewellery collection using my C.A.D skills in CorelDraw and SolidWorks creating laser cut and 3D designs.The aim of my project to date is to design and develop a collection of jewellery, jewellery hangings and digital designed boxes or containers in order to present my pieces. Although I will continue to create designs with a theme of nature which links to my textile work I am also interested with geometric
shapes. I have, as well as researching nature as a theme looked at geometric
patterns in architecture, prints and designers that use this theme in their work. I also
think that geometric jewellery fits in with the current market. My CorelDraw designs can be laser cut out of a variety
of materials, such as card, fabric and Perspex and my SolidWorks pieces can be
3D printed.
Research
Throughout my project I have looked at relevant jewellery pieces, artists and designers that relate well and will help inspire me to develop my designs. Below is a link to my Pinterest Digital research board I have also featured some key designs I have used for inspiration and why I like them.

Jewellery by Shani Jacobi
I like the different sections to this piece, how they link together and the contrast in materials I think work well together. She has used wood, perspex and formica selling this piece for
$69.99, via Etsy.
Boo and Boo Factory
I love these statement necklaces, I like how busy some are with bright vibrant colours, contrasting materials and interesting shapes. I am also interested in using leather within my own jewellery pieces.
Jewellery hangings
As well as creating a jewellery collection I am also interested in creating jewellery hangings below are some images for research I have used to help with my design process.
Packaging
Packaging is another element to my design work. I would like to create simple but interesting packaging that reference my designs in order to display my pieces.
