Make Your Jewelry Collection Tell a Story

All of our Sheffield students are creative, and there are many outlets for their creativity. One popular form is designing and making jewelry, and we teach the fundamentals of jewelry design and guide our students through techniques and materials, share the work of great designers, and encourage the building of collections. A jewelry collection tells a story. It features a core set of materials, forms, and common features. But it must hang together and form a cohesive whole. We found this video of San Francisco jeweler Jan Michaels, kicking off her "Antikwa" collection. Her new line tells a compelling visual story about antique jewelry in three categories: Fragments, Water, Earth & Sky. Very tribal, very elaborate, very elemental, and very primitive and powerful.
