Jewelry design is the art or profession of creating, crafting, fabricating, or rendering designs for jewelry. This is an ancient practice of the goldsmith or metalworker that evolved to a billion-dollar industry with the odyssey from ancient cultures into the machine age. Jewelry design falls under the category of what is commonly known as "functional art," being art that can be worn or used. Before an article of jewelry is created, design concepts are rendered followed by detailed technical drawings generated by a jewelry designer, a professional who is trained in the architectural and functional knowledge of fabrication techniques, composition, wearability and market trends.
In the past jewelry design was greatly hindered by difficult communication between the customer, the salesperson and the jeweler. The only other option for executing a jewelry design was looking through a stock jewelry design catalogue. Often the customer had a vision or idea which was not realized in the finished piece of jewelry. With the aid of computer aided design (cad) jewelry design has taken a wonderful new direction. Other important benefits to cad jewelry design is accuracy and affordability.
