「為什麼你想學珠寶設計？」這是我想問大家的問題，也是我一直以來被問了好幾次的問題。 讓你猜猜看，我為什麼學珠寶設計？ 因為想設計自己的專屬珠寶？因為想創造美麗的事物？ 😆答案都不是，我開始的理由一點都不閃亮、不浪漫。 甚至非常的現實。 2016年我日文系畢業，薪水太低。 我的金工師傅爸看我找的工作都不怎麼樣，有一天問我：「要不要去學珠寶設計？」 我想說我好像還滿喜歡畫畫的，雖然只是畫興趣的——就去報名GIA珠寶設計了。 就這樣。😝 我以為自己可能一、兩年就放棄了。 結果做了9年，還從只幫別人設計，走到了教別人設計的路上。😘 很多事情就是這樣開始的。 不是一個很厲害的理由，只是某個時間點，有個門開著，你走進去了。 你當初是怎麼想學珠寶設計的呢？ 一句話就好，歡迎在下方與我分享😁我會更知道我要怎麼幫助大家學習 “Why do you want to learn jewelry design?”That’s a question I want to ask everyone — and also a question I’ve been asked many times myself. Can you guess why I started learning jewelry design? To design my own jewelry? To create beautiful things? 😆 Nope.My reason wasn’t glamorous or romantic at all. It was actually very practical. I graduated from a Japanese major in 2016, and the salary was too low. One day, my dad — who’s a metalworker/jeweler — saw that none of the jobs I found were that great, and asked me, “Do you want to learn jewelry design?” I thought, well… I do kind of like drawing, even though it was just a hobby. So I signed up for GIA jewelry design classes. That’s it. 😝 I honestly thought I’d probably quit after a year or two. But somehow, it’s been 9 years now.I went from designing jewelry for other people to teaching other people how to design. 😘 A lot of things start like this. Not because of some amazing reason — just because at a certain moment, a door was open, and you walked through it. So, what made you want to learn jewelry design? Just one sentence is enough 😊 Feel free to share in the comments — it’ll help me understand how I can support everyone better in learning.

昨天有人在IG留言裡說:「沒有美術天份，只能畫出標準的尺寸圖而已。」 我想問問大家——你們開始學之前，有沒有也這樣想過自己？ 我自己的答案是：有。 我剛開始也覺得珠寶設計是很會畫畫的人在畫的。 在GIA學珠寶設計的時候，我隔壁坐著美工科班出身的人， 我覺得他比我厲害、他比我有天份，我什麼都不會。🥲 我連水彩筆都拿不穩🥲🥲🥲 但後來我發現珠寶手繪真的很特別， 初學者只要照著步驟走，就能畫出完整、漂亮的作品。 他是有明確的「學習軌跡」的！ 按著步驟一步一步來，就能累績能力、也不會迷路， 學會如何「表現」珠寶和金屬後，再加上「金工知識」，就能畫出比例合理、尺寸正確的圖。 這一切都熟悉之後，就是風格化與變化的開始， 那就是「設計」的開端 天份從來不是問題，沒有人告訴你方法才是。😆 你呢？當初是什麼讓你開始想學珠寶手繪呢？ 歡迎留言和我一起分享！讓我更知道我可以如何幫助你學習😃 Yesterday, someone left a comment on my instagram saying: "I have no artistic talent, so I can only draw standard measurement sketches." I want to ask everyone — did you ever think that about yourself before you started learning? My honest answer: yes. When I first started, I thought jewelry design was something only people who were "good at drawing" could do. Back in GIA, I sat next to someone who had a formal art background. I kept thinking — they're better than me, they have more talent, I don't know anything. 🥲 I couldn't even hold a watercolor brush steady. 🥲🥲🥲 But then I realized jewelry sketching is actually really different from regular art. Even as a complete beginner, if you follow the steps, you can create a beautiful, complete sketch. There's a clear learning path — follow it step by step, and you'll build skills without getting lost. Once you learn how to render gemstones and metal, you add in jewelry construction knowledge. That's when your proportions get accurate and your drawings make sense technically. And once all of that clicks? That's when personal style and creativity start to come in — and that's where real design begins. Talent was never the problem. Nobody just showed you the method. 😆 What about you?
