The Aesera Institute of Gems and Jewellery Designing School with Seshu Gopal Vundavalli at the helm offers
career-oriented courses for aspiring gemologists and designers. The
other attraction is a line of exclusive jewellery.
If diligence is the name of the game, Aesera Jewels is one of
those who plays it best. With drive unlimited, the Founder and Chairman of the
Aesera Jewel Design Academy, Mr. Sadiq Habeeb has crossed several milestones in his five-decade-long commitment to the field of Diamonds, gemmology and Gold Jewellery
And now, he is all
set to offer youngsters a career with job oppurtunities is really a gem of an opportunity!
Starting this month, the Aesera Jewel Design Academy (No. 144/74, Eskay Buildings, 3rd floor, Greams Road, Thousand Lights, Chennai-6), is conducting programmes in jewellery designing, Rhino 3D Jewel CAD, diamond
grading and basic gemmology. "The approach is scientific and systematic,
and our package, comprehensive," says Mr. Seshu Gopal Vundavalli , as he gives details
about the courses. "Each programme spanning 60 sessions is intensive and
based on a regular feedback system from the students and the faculty,
thanks to our faculty experience at the Gemmological Institute of America."
The course on jewellery designing that commenced on 5th May 2012 , for
instance, takes the students through the varied nuances of the art —
right from inspiration to marketing and public relations skills. "And
that's precisely why we are very choosy about the students we admit to
these courses. Being intensive and extensive in nature, we expect a
certain amount of commitment from them. As of now, we limit the number
to 15 for each course."
That Mr. Seshu Gopal Vundavalli dedication has percolated to the faculty and the
students is evident at the on-going session on jewellery designing. As Purno Bhandari , Mumbai-based jewellery designer and consultant, conducts
the classes with seamless energy, the students were seen giving full
vent to their creativity. "Oh, we are sure to make headway at the end of
the 15-day programme," remarked a student. "It's thoroughly
professional, we are enjoying it," observed another.
Well-structured courses on jewellery designing and gemmology for
youngsters is just one of Aesera Jewels dreams ("There is a lacuna in the
field," they asserts).
"We started off by creating one-off pieces with exquisite workmanship.
And gradually, publicity came by way of word-of-mouth," adds the
jeweller, who had spurned the material benefits that came with mass
production. Even today, his plush, uncluttered Manufacturing has a limited,
yet impressive array of precious stone-encrusted jewellery — ranging
from attractive expressions of tradition to sleek, unfussy modern
creations. And Aesera predilection for experimentation is evident in
not just the designs, but also the innovative touches given to minor
details like clasps and screws. "What is important is to give the
customer what he/she wants. We certainly don't want our outlet to look
like a department store with an intimidating display. Here are just a
few pieces, but our forte lies in custom-made jewellery. So,we prefer to
develop a personal rapport with our clients and create something to suit
their tastes." But does exclusive designs mean an exclusive clientele
and price tag? "No", he smiles. "WE have customers from various walks of
life visiting the showroom."
Aesera Jewels dexterity with design is further reflected in the way they
throws up interesting suggestions to convert traditional jewellery into
appealing modern creations. "WE don't believe in melting gold. Ornaments
can be re-worked with a dash of creativity. Jewellery is for keeps," they
says pointing out to an old chain transformed into a beautiful bracelet.

Jewellery designing is an art – a unique and intriguing art. But this
art was closely guarded earlier, confined to select few artisans or
‘kaarigars' and handed down generation to generation.
Now with the recent boom and opening up of the
branded market, jewel design is flourishing like never before. And it's
no longer restricted to designing traditional gold and diamond pieces
either. This ever-growing industry offers immense opportunities for
exclusive, contemporary, stylised and designer jewellery in keeping with
latest fashion trends. Not to forget striking prospects in
semi-precious and costume jewellery as well.
All in a Day's Work
Jewellery design is one of the most creative
professions where you get to craft innovative jewels right from
conceptualising the style and design, drawing sketches, fashioning
detailed drawings to preparing structural models, computer simulations
or sometimes even a full-scale prototype.
This
requires you to understand the market, identify the consumer needs,
visualise ideas to suit the demand and create impressive presentations
to communicate your idea clearly.
But the job doesn't
end with designing. Jewellery artists also have to be involved hands-on
in the actual manufacturing process where craftsmen use specialised
hand tools and equipments to turn the designs into exquisite, flawless
pieces!
Getting Started
Formal training is essential for refining this
creative skill. Both Bachelor and Masters Degree of Fine Arts include
jewellery designing. Or you can opt for a diploma or certificate course
offered by numerous specialist institutes in India. There are long-term,
short-term and even online/distance learning programs varying from a
few weeks to one to two years. Course costs ranges from Rs.10, 000 to a
lakh plus depending on the type of program.
These
courses impart knowledge about drawing skills, design themes, colour
science, diverse kinds of stones, environmental exposure, form and
space, presentation, jewellery costing and fashion trends. Some even
include computer-aided programs for designing jewellery and accessories.
CAD eliminates tiring efforts of umpteen redesigning on paper and
imparts flexibility of exploring numerous alternatives.
These
courses not only hone your designing skills, but also help you learn
the basics of jewellery making techniques right from metal textures,
stone settings, casting, cutting, polishing to even engraving,
enamelling and electroplating. It also includes identification of
gems/diamonds and testing quality of precious metals/stones. In fact,
this rudimentary knowledge is crucial for becoming a good designer.
Apart
from designing, you can also choose to specialise in other streams like
jewellery manufacturing, gemmology, diamond grading, etc.
What it takes?
Generally, a school level or 10+2 background is
essential. An art background or an internship with a design
studio/jewellery designer can give you a head start in the competitive
industry.
What it takes is a penchant for jewels and a
flair for design. A creative and imaginative mind with an eye for
detail and colours is essential. You have to be meticulous as nothing
but perfection is acceptable. Being able to work with patience and
concentration is also important.
It goes without saying that you have to be well-versed with the fashion scene and stay updated with the changing trends.
Career Prospects
Besides designing there is plethora of career
options in jewellery design houses, fashion houses, export houses,
antique/art auction houses etc. Big names like Tanishq, Swarvoski,
DeBeers and D'damas regularly scout for remarkable talent.
You
can choose to work as an in-house artist, freelance or be a
self-employed entrepreneur. Or specialise in any particular aspect of
jewellery making like goldsmith, bench jeweller, lapidary, quality
assurance consultant, diamond and gemstone grader, etc. But as vacancies
in this field are not advertised much, you have to build and maintain a
good network in the industry.
Generally, jewellery
designers start small by designing for the mass market and then move to
custom designs as they gain prominence. And once you build your own
inimitable style, you can even launch your own line or open your store!
Starting
pay packets range from Rupees10-12,000 depending on the type of work.
Pay packages/incentives keep rising with top designers raking in lakhs a
month.
With talent, skill, initiative and experience
on your side, there is literally no limit to what you can achieve! So,
unleash your imagination and love for all that glitters by converting
your passion into a fascinating, rewarding and fulfilling profession!
