**TOPICS**

There has been a seismic shift in jewelry design and manufacturing in recent years. As digital design and model making have speeded up the process, they have proven themselves invaluable as tools of the trade. But every tool, hand-held or digital, leaves its mark. This symposium will provide an arena for debate on how digital technology and making by hand duel for influence in the esthetics, the use , and the cultural contexts of jewelry as both a manufactured product and as an applied artform.

*—* How does digital design and manufacturing influence and intermesh with  contexts for jewelry in cultures around the world? — Can (or should)  the distinctive “tool mark” of digital design and 3-D printing over-take the reverence for hand craftsmanship in the perceived quality of jewelry? — As many designers, artisans, and manufacturers begin to integrate digital and handmade in their jewelry production, how will valuation be effected?  measured? — What role does the education of play in the  evolution of best practices in design and manufacturing, digital and handmade? Is a hybrid approach viable in the 21^st  Century?

The discussion will not only be oriented to the outcome of different crafting procedures, but it is intended to propose reflection on the production and distribution processes for jewelry. The implications “digital vs handmade in social context will be explored. The question of how the integration of digital technology effects sustainability will be examined—both in manufacturing, and in how if effects the perceived value of the jewelry—monetarily and as art.

And finally, the symposium is intended to foster debate and research in the didactics of jewelry as an applied art, through of critical analysis and discovery.
