| [659] Noël Yovovich - Seeing Ttitanium in a New Light |
Noel Yovovich discovered titanium in her first year as a jewelry artist. "A friend of mine was working with it and doing fairly typical things -- heating it from one side to get gradient bright colors, for example," says Yovovich. "She showed me how to do it, and because I can never leave well enough alone, I started experimenting with it." That experimentation led her to what would develop into her signature pieces -- complex, detailed pins and pendants in silver and titanium, which feature landscapes and interior scenes.... (2005)

| [262] Sawarovski North America sets trends with CAD/CAMs |
In addition to reducing the labor required to move a design from the sketch stage to the actual model, CAD reduces misunderstandings between designers and model makers.

| [857] The Art of Mold Cutting - Tips from the Pros |
Mold cutting sounds simple enough: Using a sharp knife and a simple tool, such as a can opener or a pair of vise grips, the mold maker separates a rubber mold into two halves, allowing the model and subsequent waxes to be removed. But like so many seemingly simple tasks, there are intricacies to cutting a successful mold that go well beyond cutting the block of rubber into two parts. In addition to ensuring that delicate waxes can be removed without distortion, the mold cutter must cut the mold in such a way that the two halves will match up perfectly time after time, and the injected wax will fill well and require minimal cleanup....
