Vision:
The Creative Jewellery and Metal Design Division form part of the Visual Arts Department at the University of Stellenbosch. The milieu of Stellenbosch offers a unique and intimate environment within the historical university town of Stellenbosch and is offset by the international, cosmopolitan and culturally diverse environment of central Cape Town, only a 45 minutes drive away.
The Department of Visual Arts occupies a historic, fully renovated building in oak-lined Victoria Street. The Department offers custom-designed studio and workshop spaces for study streams in Fine Arts, Visual Communication Design and Creative Jewellery and Metal Design, including a new computer lab of the highest industry standards. In keeping with developments in contemporary art and design, the Department's ethos is multidisciplinary, supporting students working in all aspects of new media, including video and digital arts, as well as offering a solid foundation in traditional visual and applied arts practices.
The Jewellery Division of the Visual Arts Department was founded in 1968 and is the oldest tertiary jewellery school in South Africa. The Division focuses on the development and innovation of contemporary and conceptual jewellery, as well as engendering critical academic discourse. Within this framework, design is understood as sensitive to both new contemporary trends and the historic roots of jewellery manufacture. Age-old techniques are continuously re-interpreted in the light of new concepts, thereby feeding into the ever-evolving realm of contemporary jewellery so as to provoke, critique, record, and transmit.
Students are exposed to an environment that allows for the exchange of ideas and cross-fertilisation between different art forms, disciplines, departments and faculties on campus. We continuously encourage our students to think critically about their discipline which allows for the development of unique and innovative design ideas, whilst also placing a high emphasis on the development of technical skills.

Aims and objectives
The four-year degree course in Creative Jewellery and Metal Design combines theory with rigorous technical and conceptual training, and equips graduates with the necessary production- and design skills to contribute to the establishment and promotion of an innovative, leading and unique South African jewellery design culture.
Design, drawing and the production of jewellery
As part of the course, students are expected to conceptualize ideas, master two- and three-dimensional design processes, and become fluent in various design methods, including drawing and three-dimensional model-making. Innovative, experimental thinking and originality of design are paramount.
The drawing component of the course consists of object- and perspective drawing in different mediums, especially in first and second year. In the third and fourth year, the focus shifts to an in-depth course in Computer Aided Design (CAD) where various CAD modules teach students to design on computers, using Rhino 5, Flamingo and RhinoJewel 6 programmes in conjunction with a rapid prototyping and 3D printing.
When it comes to the production of jewellery pieces, students are encouraged to find new and original solutions when two-dimensional designs are interpreted into three-dimensional models and manufactured jewellery. Once traditional techniques have been mastered, students are encouraged to experiment with self-found adaptations of these techniques are encouraged in order to broaden their problem-solving skills.
During the first two years basic jewellery techniques as well as the following more advance techniques are mastered: fly press forming, hollow form construction, cold join connections, chasing and repoussé, tool making, smithing and square wire work. Third-year students learn enamelling, wax carving, lost wax casting, die-press forming, smithing, cold and valcunised mould making, fold forming and an introduction to platinum bench work. The jewellery programme is supplemented by a course in Gemmology, which focuses on the classification and identification of gemstones.
Final-year students are expected to submit a self-motivated, independent and visually and conceptually coherent body of work for their final practical examination.
