How To Design A Jewelry Gift

Mother's Day, Father's Day and birthdays are a few times during the year that we invited to find the perfect gift. Like jewelry, we usually do this donation. But how can you start? How can a piece of jewelry you can be sure someone else will wear and enjoy? Although there are no guarantees, there are steps to take when designing the perfect gift.

Analyze the person

When I create an ornament for a gift, I first think that I do for that person and analyze. Some of the questions I ask myself:

If you spend a lot of jewelry, a little 'or no?

If you do not wear jewelry, they tend to be small or large pieces?

What colors do you use often?

What is your mascot?

He is with gold or silver?

These questions are a good starting point to determine what type of jewelry a person prefers.

Choose an article

Once I have answered these questions, I begin to think about the type of item that I do. If it's someone I know very well, as one of my sisters, I feel comfortable making them a bracelet, for example, because I know they are roughly the same size wrist as I do. However, if someone I know so well, I usually find it safer to make earrings, bracelet memory wire, or series Y. If it is the gift of a man, and he does not like jewelry (which often seems to be the case), so it is always key chains, or tie.

Sketch of an idea

If it is a very special gift and I am not a moment of inspiration, I realized, I often take a few minutes to outline my design ideas on paper. In this way, I can add or remove parts and pieces that I think of the design. Also, I can make and see the next day to see what I think about it. If I make a gift for someone else to give, I show him the sketch and work with him in the integration of what you like about the various ideas into a design.

A prototype

If the model is new for me, and I've never done anything like this before, I make a prototype. I do not use the best materials to create this example. I'm just trying to get an idea of ​​how I should do the job and how it looks when it's ready. If it's a piece I did before (as the wire and pearl necklace), and I'm just using a different color scheme, for example, if I'm going to use materials and simulation of a piece, or just put the material on side by side as they appear together. I do a lot when you work with pearls and beads advice to find the most helpful.

I hope these tips will help you create the perfect gift for friends and family. Although most people appreciate their efforts to make jewelry, it's always good to feel that you have matched the gift in person.
