Jewelry metalworking technology is an essential skill for anyone involved in the production and processing of jewelry products. It aims to provide students with a comprehensive understanding and learning of the craftsmanship process and key techniques of jewelry making through practical operations. This course covers various aspects, including the recognition of metalworking tools and equipment, tool fabrication, and jewelry setting production, focusing on developing students' hands-on abilities and cognitive skills in jewelry processing and production.
The course is divided into three modules. In the metalworking tool recognition module, students primarily learn how to use tools for basic operations on metal materials, such as sawing, shaping, filing, welding, and surface treatment. In the abrasive paper tool fabrication module, the focus is on mastering the essentials of jewelry surface treatment. In the jewelry setting production module, students learn to make settings in shapes such as round, teardrop, marquise, and square, and grasp the production process and the use of tools and equipment for jewelry setting components. Through training in these modules, students will fully master the basic jewelry production process and processing operation methods, laying a foundation for subsequent related course studies.
The jewelry metalworking course is a comprehensive, practical, and innovative professional course. Through this course, students can enhance their practical operation skills while creating jewelry works with personal characteristics.
