PROFESSIONAL PROFILE
For all professional service enquiries, including all types of freelance jewellery design work, including CAD design, hand renders, teaching, and consultancy, please e-mail edward@edwardflemingjewellery.com.
We are available for jewellery collections, capsule collections, and one-off designs for new and established brands. Edward has worked with several fine jewellery brands in the UK, Europe, and the Middle East since becoming a freelance jewellery designer in 2016. The job of a freelance jewellery designer is to understand the essence of a brand and work within a team to bring to life the vision of the founders and creative team.
Communication, whether verbal or visual is an essential part of the process, and spending time to research and create a detailed brief is always an important investment of time.
HAND RENDERING
We offer freelance jewellery hand rendering, bespoke design, paint up, and presentation drawing and teaching, 1 to 1 or groups.
The art of hand painting jewellery designs has found a new lease on life in the 21st century, as these miniature works of art have found a new, wider audience thanks to the internet and social media. Once an essential part of the jewellery design process, the art of rendering gemstones and metal using gouache watercolours is no longer the only way for designers to bring their ideas for life, though it is still appreciated by makers and customer a like.
CAD DESIGN
We are available for remote or on-site jewellery CAD work (London only), creating unique designs from scratch using rhino 3D software.
Edward has over 7 years experience creating CAD models for jewellery production. Offering competitive prices and fast turn around time, we can use our knowledge and experience to help guide you through the process of creating jewellery designs for clients, whether it’s for one off commissions or as part of a collection.
We can help business to optimise their existing design systems and capabilities to provide faster more cost effective design services for customers.
We’re experienced with Rhino, Matrix, and Countersketch.
