Ethan's+GCSE+elective+project.

I have decided to do a project based on body adornment. There are a wide range of topics to choose from. The topic I will go on to make it is jewellery. Jewellery is extreamly popular and could give me a lot of success in my projetc. Body adornment also includes topics like, tattoos, fashion and piercings but these topics will not be part of my project.
 * __Contextualisation.__**

A small family business in Toulouse that has been passed down from generation to generation have only ever sold a small amout of jewellery and as they don't have a wide range of jewellery to choose from. Now the business has been passed down to their eldest son who is 23. He has decided to develop the range of jewellery in the shop, he has decided to open the range of jewellery in the shop by using members of the public to help him by designing pieces of jewellery using different methods and materials. He hopes these new designs will appeal to customers and that the customers will buy the jewellery. He also hopes that this is a new step forrward for the business. The family mostly sold gold and silver pieces but because he's going to open the range of choices, he would like to use different materials if possible.
 * __Problem__**

I will design a range of prototypes so that the jeweller can sell more jewellery to a dwider range and different type of customer. When I have designed and made these prototypes, I will present them to the jeweller. If he chooses to use my pieces, they will be made in small batches and sold to his customers. If these pieces are popular and successful, they will continue to be made in batches to suit the amount of buyers and will continue to be sold.
