The method proposed in this work brings together various proven drawing techniques specifically adapted for jewelry. It applies to technical drawing of instruments, sketching, rendering nuances of shadows and lights, and the illustration of stones. Each chapter presents simple basic concepts accompanied by a series of illustrated models, which include particular challenges. The illustration of each model is explained step by step and in detail. The models provide a varied sampling of basic structures and finishes that the beginner student or practicing jeweler can modify, arrange, enhance, and shape to create new jewelry. Each person can choose the technique according to the purpose of the drawing, whether to design a model directly on paper, prepare a piece for manufacturing, archive ideas, share them with colleagues, or present them to clients.
