WHAT makes a piece of jewelery work?? Here is a list of components that I use to design my jewelry. I use a lot of the same principles of Interior Design. both in design elements and color elements... I like to use these shapes: round, square, oblong, flat, these textures: smooth, rough, shiny, matte, different sizes:
big, medium & small. If I am using found objects then I would include something old & something new. If I am feeling really daring I would add some sparkle to the whole piece.
For color I usually go with an analogous color scheme..(3-6 colors adjacent to a key color with 1 color in common. I try to use other combos such a complementary but I struggle with them..so I just stick to what I do best... I dress the same way... It is just the way it is....
Here is a little memory wire bracelet and as you can see I have used all oranges, yellows, reds and thrown in some white for contrast. These are some lampwork beads that I have made.
