Explore the first steps in creating a jewel.

About the Course

Guided by your lecturers, explore the three stages which allow a jewel to be represented in two dimensions: the drawing, the tracing, and the gouaché, and learn how to paint the facets of a diamond. 

Then, experience the mock-up maker's gestures while creating a pewter mock-up, the first three-dimensional interpretation of the jewel. Shape a butterfly out of metal and decorate it with rhinestones. After the class, bring your drawing and your mock-up back home.  

A shorter version of this course (two hours), focused only on the technique of the mock-up in jewelry, is also available: "Discover the Technique of the Mock-Up in Jewelry".
