In our ever-evolving digital age, freehand design still cannot be replaced as the first step in the creation of an original design. Utilizing the same basic tools as jewelers did hundreds of years ago, such as pencils, erasers, watercolor, etc., designing by hand creates a real connection first between you and the design, and with your customers as well. There is a clear resurgence in the appreciation for jewelry art in our industry which doesn’t conflict with the advantages CAD design brings as a second step of production. Any one of us can develop and refine their drawing skills. When you do freehand jewelry design live in front of a client, it solidifies the collaboration, brings trust, and is beautiful!
