The goal of this diploma thesis is to produce a collection of jewelry that is well designed and minimalistic. Produced pieces of jewelry complement the appearance of the user with its extravagance. Each individual piece of jewelry attracts people’s attention.
In the theoretical part I focused on the development of jewelry, materials and techniques of production. I described how jewelry has changed through different time periods and what influenced the development of jewelry design. Research was crucial for the development and production of the jewelry collection.
For the practical part I designed five jewelry collections that mostly consist of rings, earrings and brooches. The starting material for all collections was wire which made it possible to outline floral motifs in a minimalistic way. To prevent the collections from being too similar I manipulated the wire and added textile thread. I kept the same motifs and produced different pieces of jewelry only by manipulating the wire.
In the process of designing collections I used the line tracing method for flowers and knowledge from textile design. The basic idea was to make a jewelry collection for a woman who dares to show her true self and be proud of herself. The floral motifs were used to emphasize femininity. I wanted to put the beauty of nature, especially flowers, in focus as it has become something that is often forgotten.
