How is jewelry made?

The birth of a piece of jewelry begins in the head of a designer. The idea is transferred to paper and takes the form of a sketch. And the artist takes ideas from the surrounding life - elements of flora, fauna, various symbols.
Usually, the enterprise is working simultaneously in several areas. For example, craftsmen are working on the manufacture of diamond jewelry, while not forgetting to replenish the assortment with new products with cubic zirkonia.
