Jewellery Design Jobs in India

Jewellery can be basically defined as: - an adornment made of precious metals and set with gems. In other words or in more general sense, it can be best defined as a piece of decorative item worn to enhance the beauty of human beings. In the country like India where the jewellery is treated as an organ of women and also now it’s a fashion for men. The field will never loose its charm but always grow with the lucrative minds of generation i.e. extravagance.

History of jewellery can be dated back to the Stone Age where women wore various items of jewellery made of different stones, beads etc which were replaced by metals like iron, silver and gold in the different eras as the human race progressed. Later they were decorated with precious and semi precious stones like diamonds, rubies etc. In fact many of world’s famed pieces of art and crafts are crafted in pure gold or silver or any other precious metal, or some are decorated with these stones.

In the earlier times jewellery making was an art which was like a family business and the skills were transferred from one generation to another. The making of jewellery involved low investment and the most important factor on which this business was based, was the trust and relationship between the artisan and his customers. Creativity, training and variety of skills were an integral part of this business.

In present times technology has overpowered the original family business. This job now involves huge capital investments to set up machinery and stocks in a modern factory. New methods of working are being introduced at very short intervals of time n therefore proper training of the artisans is required. They must have ample knowledge of these new techniques like cutting stones, engraving & welding of intricate, delicate small pieces of jewellery with lasers. The technology is on the progression but the hands has its own flair.

Designing jewellery is no more a job of human creativity only as it is also aided by computers with software like CAD (Computer aided design) which help to avoid flaws during the designing process. Similarly there is software like CAM (computer aided manufacturing process) helps to create a model of a piece of jewellery to produce numerous pieces of that design, something which was very difficult to achieve in earlier days.

The predictions for this are always about what the creativity is?

As we don’t stick to one rule but our work make rules. Thus, the fly is high and so the opportunities, one just needs to see and grab them.
