Drawing A More Complex Piece of Jewelry

Video Transcript

"I'm DJ Poye, professional jeweler and gemologist and I am here today on behalf of Expert Village. Hi again. I did want to talk about one more thing about doing a rendering. I entered into this New York contest this year and how in depth and evolved, involved rendering can possibly be. You can also have overlapping of designs to help you understand more of a three dimensional piece. The piece we're making today is just, one dimension. But I did this piece that is the first layer, a lot of it's piercing, okay. It shows also the henge points of the piece itself through the, to the necklace part. The next part that was going to be placed on here is an opal tailed mermaid and she'll have twenty four Karat gold hair and a pearl in her hand. This is going to be a neck piece. Then the third layer was actually seaweed that actually went around her. So you have the first layer, second layer and third layer. It really gave a, a real sculptured look to, to this piece. So I just want to let you know that the renderings can get extremely detailed orientated. With these, also too, they can have many different metals on them too as well. This one particular piece is intertwined in this whole entire thing. This was the initial drawing to make these, this particular piece upside down, backwards or whatever. So you come up with one design and you can end up making it into many different directions. So, once again, the piece that we're making today is for beginners. It's how I started and these are more involved pieces for later on down the line. So, I just wanted to add that to let you know that, even though this piece we're doing today has a lot of the techniques that this piece will too as well, it's just more simplistic. "
