Being design students we did not just study the jewelry aspects of the history of art. We were making jewelry for the studied periods! It was a fun time! I wish, my learning was longer than just two years. Though, I continue studying different styles on my own and make pieces for the sake of fun.
Nevertheless, my Art Deco pin has been made at school, when we studied pave setting. I still remember sitting by my teacher at a desk and him coming up with a dozen ways how my project can be done in the most complicated way. I have failed to follow all his suggestions. I used a piece of maple and oak wood instead of black onyx and a green glass cabochon instead of a chrysoprase.
It took me about three month to complete the project (while new projects kept coming), but I’ve done it! It is still one of my jewelry objects that I am proud of.
