Golden Jewelery Golden Jewelery
In this tutorial I want to show you a simple way to make a piece of golden jewelry - a golden medallion or locket. You will learn an easy way to make gold texture and also to work with Photoshop patterns.

Step 1 – Download the Pattern


Go to this pattern and download the pattern; you have there the instructions on how to install pattern and how to use them.

Open a new document 400/400 px .


Step 2 – Create the Gold Texture


Now we have to make a gold texture…you can copy a gold texture if you preffer; set background color: 4e3c06 and foreground color: e4b116. Go to Filter – Render – Clouds. Resize this layer to 70 %. Go to Filter – Artistic – Watercolor (brush detail:14 ; shadow intensity: 0 ; texture: 1)



I advise you to keep this texture in a layer and hide it. Duplicate the layer for further steps.


Step 3 – Create the Jewelry Shape


Now make a circle in a new layer. Right click on the name of the layer and go to Blending Options and choose the pattern that we downloaded earlier. You should obtain something like this:




Step 4 – Duplicate the Shape


Duplicate this layer 2 times …you will have 3 layers with the circle

Merge layer 1 with layer 2, the result is that the shape 2 is rasterized (not vector enymore) and this layer doesn’t have a pattern in Blending options…the pattern become a picture and we can work with it.





Step 5 – Apply the Gold Texture to the Shape


Be careful always to have a copy of the Vector circle, so duplicate the layer as many times as you need. Now, with the CTRL key pressed click on the red from layer 3. You will notice that a circle is selected…go to texture layer and press CTRL+C and than CTRL+V. A new circle layer was created with a gold texture.
