What’s your kind of gemstone? What makes it special? How do you identify it? So many questions........... If you like blues, perhaps you can tell the difference between Topaz, Aquamarine, Tanzanite, Tourmaline...Iolite, Sapphire, Apatite, Turquoise, Lapis... Blue Lace Agate...Blue Jade (!)... Could we call Labradorite blue too?? Last class we took a great meander through our crazy selection of stones - we talked more about how quality and cut, size and character determine how best to turn our gem into a jewel. Students chose their favourite... now comes the next thrilling challenge... looking forward to seeing some drawings at our next class *!* #gemforjewel #blueskies #jewelleryfordreamers #ring #cuff #necklace https://ift.tt/2NJVnKd

Link matters... These lovely necklaces both explore ways to integrate shape, colour and form. Made independently by 2 jewellery explorers, it’s interesting to note strong similarities here, yet still these necklaces carry a different make-up. Viktoria comes to Flux for self directed Tuesday extra time... her necklace began with beach finds- 2 pieces of glass, human-made from sand, then cracked, shaped and polished over time by the sea’s wild buffering, rhythmic pattern. Note how this organic processing brings new life to the glass! Now having living form, these sea glass beings remain ever connected; the interrelated silver links add more to the story of how her green beauties took form. The second necklace starts with other influence... Karla loves her labradorite ring, and she sought to make matching piece of jewellery; our 10week chains and links course at Flux was a timely invitation to give structure to her designs. In combining stone with silver, oval with rectangular form, solid stone with hollow box, Karla’s pendant presents geometric interplay... additionally we might see an otherworldly window, a dream, a door, a landscape... draping pleasingly from a repetition of oval links that make her chain. What’s your story?

Linkage matters...Of course, we can use a range of techniques to make jewellery beautiful - a complex design may depend on simple processes to achieve its objective. Take a look at these fine tags! Here we see how a drilled hole has made for the perfect conclusion: Francis has etched silver sheet before cutting, shaping, drilling, polishing, Keum boo-ing (!) and oxidising these well considered pendants, which then he fed to a chain. He made such meaningful gifts! #alwayslearning #silvertag #keumboo #etching #oxidisedsilver #linkage #perfectgifts https://ift.tt/2Qh2gTw
