A few
design principles and elements that you need to know when buying jewelries:
Balance
and scale. This relates to the
overall balance of the piece, the balance and scale of the individual elements,
and the elements as they relate to you and the outfit you are wearing.
Texture
and detail. You should
determine if you like a lot of texture, small details, or large-scale elements
with texture, and whether you like your jewelry smooth, matte, or shiny.
Proportion. It is the feeling of unity created when all the elements
(color, size, amount) in a particular jewelry piece relate well with each
other. Proportion is all about the relationship of one part of the design to
another or one area to the whole. Proportion is usually not even noticed until
something is out of proportion. When the relative size of two elements being
compared seems wrong or out of balance it is said to be "out of
proportion."
Repetition. You can create visual interest through
repetition of color, elements, or patterns. The use of repetition to create
movement occurs when elements are repeated regularly or irregularly. Slight
variations to a simple repetition add visual interest.
Color. Think about how your design
coordinates with an outfit, how a color or group of colors looks on you, how
colors work together, and if you have chosen too many colors for one design.
Harmony. It refers to how the different elements in a piece of
jewelry relate to and complement each other. Harmony is achieved in a body of
work by using similar elements throughout the jewelry, giving an effortless and
uncomplicated appeal to the design.
Comfort
and wearability. It is important to
consider both the comfort and functionality of a piece of jewelry, and how you
can best achieve that without compromising design.
Here
are a few specifics:
1) Earrings. Avoid styles that are noisy or overly heavy.
3) Necklaces. If they are heavy, lumpy, or too long, they could
get hooked on countertops or other structures.
4) Anklets. If they are too long, they can get caught in sandal
straps. You should also avoid beads that make them too lumpy or abrasive.
In
addition, necklaces, bracelets, and anklets come in standardized lengths, but
may not be the right length for you. Lengths
will vary depending on body type, personal preference, neckline, and size
of beads and components. The wonderful thing about customizing your jewelry is
that you can adapt it for your fashion style.
