1979 - Michele started her jewellery manufacturing apprenticeship in 1979 in Taree. This picture shows her soldering metal pieces together in the production of a piece of jewellery.
The difference between a jeweller who has completed their apprenticeship and those that simply own jewellery stores is that the former can actually make jewellery, therefore the knowledge required about jewellery is much higher. |
