  • The Mechanics of Jewelry
    THE MECHANICS OF JEWELRY SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTER OF ARTS BY JOSHUA D. SANCHEZ ADVISOR: PATRICIA NELSON BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA JULY 2011 TABLE OF CONTENTS Title Page i Table of Contents ii Chapter One: Statement of Problem 1 Chapter Two: Influences 2 - 9 Chapter Three: Description of Artworks and Process 10 - 24 Chapter Four: Conclusion 25 - 28 Chapter Five: Exhibition Statement 29 Appendix 30 - 37 Works-Cited 38 - ii - Statement of Problem There are three major questions and obstacles that I will deal with in the creation of my art. The first question, “how do I incorporate industrialized objects such as screws and gears into jewelry?” comes from my love of mechanical objects that are parts of a larger whole. With my second question, “how can I make these industrialized objects out of precious metals, primarily silver?” I attempt to meld industrial parts with precious materials. The third question is, “how can I incorporate gemstones into these objects?” Many of the gemstones that I will be using in my work are rather large in comparison to mainstream jewelry. The successful integration of these large gemstones will be critical to the design and aesthetic appearance of some of my work; the success of the rest of my work will be contingent on the integrated mechanics, specifically gears. - 1 - Influences My initial influence was that of the Steampunk Genre, which was influenced by the mechanics of the Industrial Revolution. Steampunk is a genre of literature and art set in the Victorian era where steam is the predominant power supply.

  • Preparing for Platinum Bench Work
    Preparing for Platinum Bench Work Sooner or later, most bench jewelers will have to work with platinum. It’s only natural: As demand for the white metal has increased over the past several years, the amount of platinum jewelry that needs to be repaired or fabricated has also risen. Platinum bridal pieces, cocktail rings, bracelets, and chains - all these and more will at some point cross the jeweler’s bench. This also gives rise to one of today’s most frequently asked questions: How difficult is platinum to work with? The answer: Not very - unless you don’t have the necessary information. To illustrate, let’s say a bench jeweler must fabricate a four-prong solitaire ring. It’s the same kind of ring he’s made many times in his career, except this time it will be made from platinum. He’s never worked with this white metal before, but he’s not worried. After all, he’s had plenty of experience with gold; how different can it be? Confidently, he rolls the platinum stock to the proper size, creating the wire that will form the gallery for the prong assembly. Placing it on a charcoal- soldering block, he begins to anneal the wire in preparation for soldering. He focuses the flame of his trusty oxygen/acetylene torch and watches as the platinum turns a bright orange. His uncovered eyes squint as he looks into the blinding light, and he has trouble focusing. He’s about to take out a pair of sunglasses from his pocket when he notices that his charcoal block is starting to decay rapidly.

  • The Technology in Laser Welding
    The Technology In Laser Welding What is laser welding? Simply stated, laser welding is the ability to weld metals, using amplified light as the source, to produce a solid weld. It sounds complicated, but is really quite simple. Laser welding actually uses a specific wavelength of light to accomplish the welding process. This light is concentrated, adjusted, and controlled by jeweler operators, in much the same way as they would control and adjust the flame of a soldering torch. However, compared to soldering, laser welding is faster, cleaner, and more cost-effective for many manufacturing and repair applications. What metals can be welded with the laser? All of the traditional jewelry metals can be laser welded—all base metals, karat gold, sterling silver, titanium, palladium and platinum. Platinum, historically one of the most difficult metals to work with and repair, is one of the easiest metals on which to perform laser weld repairs! Welding different metal groups is also possible, i.e. gold to platinum, sterling to gold, etc. How difficult is it to operate a laser welding machine? Our laser welders are extremely user-friendly. There is a short learning curve, so that any entry-level jewelry personnel can be quickly and easily trained to perform basic welding applications. While there is no substitute for an experienced bench jeweler, many repairs, which could have only been handled by a jeweler, can now be taken care of by utilizing more of your shop staff. Experienced jewelers, who have these laser welders, generally find that it takes between 10–20 hours of hands-on practice using the laser welder to become proficient for all their standard applications.
