HEAD - Réalisez un bijou avec de la fonte à l'os de seiche   © HEAD / Rebecca Bowring
About

Students and former graduates of the Product Design/Jewelry, Watch and Accessories department of HEAD – Geneva unveil their work in an exhibition made up of jewellery, watches and various accessories.

The public will also be able to attend demonstrations of “cuttlebone casting” and take part in a workshop to make a ring using this ancestral technique.

The cuttlebone is covered with a hard film while its internal texture, soft and porous, is similar to that of plaster. It is easy to carve the inside with a spatula to make a model. You can then pour the metal into it to obtain an object or an adornment.
