Cast Pewter Necklace

摘要

Don't know coreldraw? Don't let that stop you from exploring the possibilities of computer-aided jewelry design. Start with a basic design like this necklace. You will need access to software and technology available at membership studios like makerspaces or TechShops. You can learn how to use the software during a 2.5-hour TechShop class for about $35 (or you can try a local continuing education program in your area). Follow that with a 2-hour TechShop class on laser cutting for $60, or just have have a professional laser cutting company make the three-part mat board molds for you. The rest of the project can be done with basic silversmithing tools, a hot plate, and a cast iron frying pan.
