47 | Explain the 'lost-wax casting' process in jewelry making. | Lost-wax casting is a method to create metal jewelry from a wax model. Process: 1. Create a wax model of the jewelry piece. 2. Encase the wax model in plaster (investment). 3. Heat the mold to melt and 'lose' the wax, leaving a cavity. 4. Pour molten metal into the cavity. 5. Allow metal to cool and solidify. 6. Break open the mold to reveal the cast metal jewelry piece. This technique allows for intricate designs and mass production of jewelry. | {

91 | Explain the 'metal clay' technique in jewelry making. | Metal clay is a pliable material made of microscopic metal particles (silver, gold, copper, bronze) mixed with a binder and water. It can be shaped like clay, then fired in a kiln or with a torch. During firing, the binder burns away, and the metal particles sinter together, creating solid metal jewelry. Metal clay allows for detailed sculpting and organic forms in metal jewelry without traditional metalsmithing techniques. | {

95 | Explain the 'marriage of metals' or 'married metals' technique in jewelry making. | Marriage of metals, or married metals, is a technique of joining different colored metals together to create patterns and designs. Sheets or wires of different metals (e.g., gold, silver, copper) are soldered, riveted, or fused side-by-side or layered to create contrasting metal patterns. This technique allows for creating intricate and visually striking jewelry with inherent color variations in the metal itself. | {

99 | Explain the 'niello' technique in jewelry making. | Niello is a black mixture, typically of sulfur with silver, copper, and lead, used as inlay on engraved or etched metal (usually silver).

After cooling, the excess niello is polished away, leaving the black niello in the recessed designs, creating contrast and highlighting the engraved patterns. Niello is an ancient technique used for decorative metalwork and jewelry. | {
