Posted by admin | Posted in Jewelry Making | Posted on 07-04-2011

Jewelry is a passion with women. Jewelry made of birthstones, gemstones and crystals have a special place in the hearts of women. You can get a couple of ideas here:

Jewelry Making

1] Try a Simple Design

You don’t need to start with a complicated design. Give your creativity a shot. Think about your favorite beads. For example, when I started bead stringing I chose beautiful amethyst beads to make a necklace. I got a wire and created a simple necklace. Once, I was done with it, I started with more complex designs.

2] Get the right balance

Jewelry designing is also about balancing color, shape and weight of the beads. You must have seen that many necklace designs have a big bead in the middle. You can start your design in a similar way. While making this necklace you can start with a purple-pink combination. You can start with small seed beads of amethyst and with one large bead of rose quartz. You can get 10 beads of amethyst. First, string five beads of amethyst and then the rose quartz; finish off the necklace with remaining 5 beads of amethyst.

The above jewelry making ideas will give a push to your jewelry designing business.

1. Get the Balancing Act

If you are starting to make jewellery with bead stringing then it is necessary that you get your beads balanced. Sead beads come in various sizes. You must select the ones having similar size. Always use a larger piece in the center. After balancing the size, you must balance the color or colors. If you are using one color make sure that your beads are uniform in color. For example, I was making an amethyst necklace. Most of the beads were dark in color while some were extremely light. So, I discarded the light ones and chose the dark ones.

2. Being Creative

Once you get the balancing act right, you can become creative. Allow your creativity to flow in a smooth way.

The above tips will help you in creating an exceptional jewellery design.
