Hi all, it’s been a while since my last confession here on Orchid,
but the listserv remains an excellent place for learning. I am
currently studying - after having stumbled into jewelry with the
tutorship of several individuals and some good old book-learnin’ for
3 years. The truth is that I am stuck on a project which involves a
live customer. It is an assignment, with the professor being the
’messenger’. We don’t get to talk to the customer. The (tall) order
is for: a ring which is colorful and ostentatious, TRANSFORMABLE,
elegant and feminine, with some volume to the form (on the higher
side) and would be attention grabbing but wearable on a daily basis.
FINALLY —> a small budget. (I had thought of gluing together some
boutique beer ring-pulls).
I came with 3 options: A solitaire with synthetic sapphire, the
mounting can be unscrewed and another layer added - eg a flower form
($)A 3 ring hinged chain which can be a ring or pendant, and lobster
clasp type charms could be added (for color etc)A solitaire with a
long stem on which several (plexiglass) components which can be
interchanged or added to No go…
If you have the time and inclination, I would love your 10 second
(gotta keep the overheads down) direction-pointing or laughter
Thanks!
