Final design Developed: CAD print out

While going through this process, my mind thought of another way the design could be interpreted. The top will be enameled, the middle while be domed and the jumprings will have beads.

Jhumka 3 : Developed design 1

 

CAD printed design and brass plate

I was disappointed with the previous Jhumka look,so I decided to make changes to the design and try working with a thinner plate. I made changes with the design inside of the circle and added curves around the circle to play the role like jumprings. 

Dotted punches on the design

The dotted punches makes it easier for me to drill the holes for the design to be pierced.

Jhumka Designing Process

 

Jhumka Inspiration vs idea sketch

The image on the left printed is the design I originally looked at for inspiration(hoop jhumka). The drawing on the right is the idea of what I would like to work towards with the lotus being fly-pressed as I had enjoyed the outcome of what my platinum piece looked with the lotus leaf being fly-pressed. The hoop pattern will be pierced with the pattern derived from a mendhi design look of the curves.

CAD sketch: Rhino 5

The next step I had taken was to start my design on Rhino 5. I wanted to see what the outlook would look if I had pierced the design. The next step after  this is to see if I would want it to look like the bell-shaped look(rounded) or leave it as a flat hoop Jhumka.

Design done on CAD 

The design for my platinum earrings was created using CAD software, specifically Rhino 5. To maintain consistency in shape and size, I copied, pasted, and mirror techniques for the flowers. Additionally, I trimmed unnecessary elements to achieve a clean and polished look for the floral pattern.

design printed and pasted on silver plate

Before piercing the design I printed the CAD design from Rhino 5, cut out the design and pasted it onto the silver plate. I then carefully drilled holes with a 0.6mm drill bit to access the finer petals before commencing the piercing process using a 0.3mm saw blade.

Pierced out design

The design has been pierced out, but the paper is still attached to help identify areas that need to be filed or adjusted for the correct outlining of the design.

Back of the pierced plate

The back of the silver plate looked something like this before it can be filed and neatened.
