Course Overview

Decorative Finishes for Silver Jewellery

Learn how to apply decorative finishes to enhance your silver jewellery designs.

Learn how to work with a wide range of surface decoration finishes and techniques to enhance your jewellery designs. Combine texture, colour and depth to make your jewellery unique and visually appealing.

Through demonstration, students are introduced to each new decorative process before experimenting and combining techniques with guidance and feedback from the tutor. This practise of combining processes encourages students to develop their own unique style and expression. Experiment on simple jewellery designs such as rings or pendants.
