What is the difference between industrial design and industrial jewelry making?

Industrial design is the practice of designing and creating products, systems, and services that are manufactured and marketed for public use. The product can take the form of physical objects, digital interfaces, or even architectural structures. The designer in this field is primarily focused on creating functional, useful, and aesthetically pleasing objects that are commercially viable and meet the needs of users.

Industrial jewelry making, on the other hand, is a specific type of manufacturing process that involves the creation of jewelry on a large scale using industrial machinery and techniques. Unlike handmade or artisanal jewelry, industrial jewelry is manufactured in bulk, often using molds and automated machines. The design of the jewelry itself may be carried out by an industrial designer or a specialized jewelry designer, but the emphasis is on the manufacturing process rather than the design process.
