Jennifer "JJ" Singh from Matisse Designs shares her jewelry making process on her site, including a peek into her design sketch book. (Very cool! I sketch too.)

From there, she explains how she develops her prototype from metal clay.

This process has recently lead to two new jewelry collections from this designer. First, "Seychelle" collection named after her second daughter.

Next is the "constellation" collection: Inspired by heavenly bodies, the Constellation Collection is made of fine silver, 24k gold, and multi-colored sapphires. Bangles, pendants, and earrings are punctuated with sapphires in varying sizes and colors just like the night sky.
