MESSIS AUREA

A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF YOUR PROJECT

Inspired by grains and harvests, I have created a luxury gem set neckpiece featuring a large pear cut Citrine, with complimentary earrings.

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THIS CONCEPT?

I live on a farm where I find the lifestyle and landscape incredibly inspiring, from the hedgerows to the crops and the animals. I chose this theme to celebrate this part of my life, while also incorporating as many skills and techniques that I have been taught on the HND Jewellery and Silversmithing course.

WHAT PROCESSES HAVE YOU BEEN USING?

I have utilised Computer Aided Design, rapid prototyping, lost wax casting, innovative stone setting, microscope-setting and traditional hand fabrication, amongst other industry specialist techniques.

WHAT DID YOU HOPE TO ACHIEVE WITH YOUR PROJECT?

A beautiful, luxurious neckpiece with complimentary earrings to demonstrate my expertise.
