Friction Fitting
This is project five from Stage One of the Silver program at Jewellery Training Solutions. This one was especially fun since we were instructed to create our own design after making the assigned project.
What were the challenges?
There is a lot of careful filing in this project, and it’s easy to go from too little to too much all of a sudden, causing the piece to need to be remade. Also, designing my own project was challenging!
Where could I improve?
I wish I could have come up with a more complicated design for my own project.
What did I learn?
I learned about friction fitting, and how to shape a piece to fit (especially the top piece of the pendant that needed to go over the other two pieces).
