Links to jewellery rendering sites
This one is very useful, it has links to other pages, such as a wikipedia demonstration on orthographic design.

LIKE! and DISLIKE! - General Design Crits 9 May
1. LIKE!
This sculpture by Eric Gill is lushly rounded, smooth and heavy. It is stylised in such a way a to create a largely curvilinear piece with no jagged edges and much full plumpness. I like it because of the softened edges of the form and because of the highly designed almost iconographic appearance of the two figures. The sculpture as a representation is not realistic or naturalistic and i find the cleanliness of the line in this case very appealing. The similarity of the two figures and their echoing of one another heightens the feeling of gentleness in this piece.

I don't particularly dislike this piece by Alberto Giacometti, it's just that I find the figures bloodless and full of pathos in comparison to the previous sculpture. Their ragged angular thinness, exaggerated by the elongation of their bodies and by their enormous heavy feet, make this figures seem sad to me. Not fleshy and smooth and full and round and warm, but boney and jagged and thin and cold. These figures are not slumbering in a companionable bliss but pacing restlessly, endlessly, dragging heavy feet through some seeming quagmire.

What i like about this piece is its subtle colouring. I find the gentle tonal gradation from cream to black pleasing. Another thing i like is the repeated use of the slightly flattened diamond shape and it's gradual increase in size from top to bottom. The combination of these two elements of colour and proportion give the piece a visual weight and feeling of pendulousness. I like jewellery that has a justifiable heft to it, some body, or at least creates the illusion of weight. I think that the materials of the piece, woven glass seed beads and a matt silver sheperds hook, have been used to their advantage to make a simple and attractive piece of jewellery. The length of the piece flatters the delicate feminine line of the neck from earlobe to collar-bone. I find this piece although simple, quite elegant and sophisticated and classic. I feel that a woman of any age could wear this piece and have it look charming.

I find these pieces, while bright, eye-catching and cheery, somewhat garish. I find the addition of the fringe of large dangling beads at the bottom lumpish and clumsy. I am not fond of the general shape and I think that it would be less flattering to the female form and more generally distracting. These earrings may be fun and look like sparkly sweets but that also makes them seem faddish, not classical, and reserved perhaps for quite young women.
