JEWELLERY DESIGNER
A jewellery designer is someone who creates and designs jewelry, like rings, necklaces, bracelets, and earrings.
They come up with the ideas for how the jewellery will look, often drawing or using a computer to sketch their designs.
Jewellery designers think about what materials to use, like gold, silver, diamonds, or other gemstones, and how to combine them to make something beautiful. Some designers make their own jewellery by hand, while others work with craftspeople who bring their designs to life.
In short, a jewellery designer is like an artist who specializes in creating wearable art that people can enjoy and show off!
