Publisher's Synopsis
Start Your Own Handmade Jewellery Business From Home
If you're a jewelry designer or wanting to be, you'll know that inspiration strikes at the strangest of times. Art is a big part of designing jewelry, so understanding a lot of important concepts about beauty and symmetry is also essential in creating a memorable and lasting piece. When it comes to designing jewelry, many current jewelers say it comes from both the heart and the mind. This combined with the market you want to hit and how you want people to buy your jewelry, are important things to consider as well. In order to come up with a lasting and impressionable jewelry design, there are a few key things every potential or working jewelry designer must consider.
Research Art and Design; Spend a Lot of Time Doing So
In order to understand the concepts of art, you have to make a personal investment in figuring out how different elements interact. Color theory, perception and variation are three major components that are touched on with great designs.
Talk to a Local Expert or Craft Store
If you're lacking inspiration for designs, head in to the local craft store. Take a look around at all the different materials they offer and try to picture combinations in your head that would be appealing to you and perhaps to other people as well.
Never Stop Drawing or Trying to Come Up with Ideas
Even if you feel like you're at the end of your rope, try and try again. Buy yourself a good sketchbook and package of all the utensils you'll need to create the designs on paper, before you decide to spend money on the materials.
Create a Space Your Comfortable With
Designing cannot be something that faces constant distractions. Often you need to be fully focused in order to convey an idea on paper. Create a comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere that you can use to design and create pieces, which will have edge and flair.
