Not Applicable
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to produce jewellery through the exploration and application of a range of techniques, tools, equipment and materials. As such the range of techniques could be quite varied and broad in nature. It is a specialisation unit and refers to a specific art form. This work would usually be carried out under limited supervision.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.
You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
Prerequisites
It is highly recommended that this unit be assessed in conjunction with the following units:
CUVCOR03B Develop, refine and communicate concept for own work
CUVCOR08B Produce drawings to represent and communicate the concept
CUVCOR12B Review history and theory for application to artistic practice.
Depending on the context, combined assessment and/or training with a range of other units would also be appropriate, e.g.:
CUVCRS08B Document the work progress
CUVCRS14B Prepare, store and maintain finished work.
Employability Skills
This unit contains employability skills.
Evidence Required
List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package. | |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit: production of jewellery which demonstrates a command of selected techniques and which is consistent with the conceptual vision knowledge of materials and tools and how they are used and extended in jewellery work. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | The assessment context must provide for: evaluation of visual language and technical execution of work pieces produced by the candidate practical demonstration of skills using required tools, equipment and materials to produce multiple pieces of jewellery or a single major work. |
Method of assessment | Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include: direct observation of jewellery work in progress questioning and discussion of the candidate's intentions verbal and written reports |
review of portfolios of evidence third party workplace reports of performance by the candidate. Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands (e.g. literacy) and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities, and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling). | |
Assessment of this unit requires access to the materials, resources and equipment needed to produce jewellery. |

Assessment Tasks
Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
Required skills: literacy skills sufficient to read product safety labels numeracy skills sufficient to calculate quantities, and costs. |
Required knowledge: the physical properties and capabilities of the range of materials, tools and equipment used in jewellery work work space requirements for jewellery work, including ways of organising and maintaining space ways of exploring, adapting and combining techniques and materials to achieve different effects in jewellery work general knowledge of the formal elements and principles of design and their specific application to the production of jewellery cleaning and maintenance techniques for tools and equipment used in jewellery work general knowledge of the historical and theoretical contexts for jewellery |
awareness of copyright, moral rights and intellectual property issues environmental issues associated with the tools and materials used in jewellery work organisational and legislative occupational health and safety procedures in relation to jewellery work. |
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. | |
Tools and equipment may include: | brushes centre punch clamps dapping blocks and punches dividers drills embossing tools engravers (power and hand tools) files guillotine hammers, including silver smithing jewellery bench mallets (wood, plastic, rubber) mandrels measuring tools modelling tools piercing saw and blades pliers power tools protective clothing sanders scissors snips soldering and welding equipment tongs tweezers. |
Materials may include: | fabricated objects, plastic and metal objects, fabrics, das, firm, papier-mâché found objects gem stones metals, e.g. silver, copper, brass, pewter, guilding metals natural objects, shells, wood, clay seeds, feathers, twigs vines, bones, palm fronds synthetic materials, e.g. plastics, acrylic. |
Jewellery may include: | objects, e.g. containers, sculptural forms wearable pieces, e.g. earrings, neck and head pieces, brooches, rings, anklets. |
Workplace procedures may relate to such things as: | cost control process-specific procedures recycling reporting safety use of materials. |
Safety requirements would be in accordance with: | Federal, State and Territory legislation, regulations and standards. |
Organisation and maintenance of the work space may relate to: | light process specific requirements ventilation wet and dry areas. |
Assessing the capabilities of the techniques, tools and materials may involve: | producing test pieces or samples systematically testing a range of processes. |
Extending capabilities of techniques refers to: | exploring the potential of techniques and discovering new ways of using techniques. |
The conceptual vision may be determined by: | elements and principles of design the relationship of the work to a theoretical and historical context the subject matter or theme for the jewellery, e.g. the body; identity; land and place; political, cultural, social issues; spiritual concerns. |
Criteria for the selection of techniques may relate to: | access to materials, tools and equipment for the techniques consistency with the conceptual vision for the proposed jewellery ease of application of the techniques personal affinity with the techniques. |
Within this unit the candidate would generally extend, build upon and combine a range of techniques, which may include: | casting techniques clasps, links and jump-rings colour work drilling and assembling enamelling polishing and finishing techniques pressing and forming surface decoration weaving, threading, knotting, binding. |
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
