Choose Your Style
Maybe you have a good idea of your style, but maybe you don’t. How do you decide what style of jewelry to make? Take a look at your jewelry box for starters. If you make a piece that is similar to some that you already own--perhaps in a color or materials you don’t have yet--you are likely to be happy with it. Do some window shopping and see what is in the stores. Think back to items your friends have worn that you really like. A trip to an antique shop can give you some ideas if vintage is something you like. You can purchase multi gemstone strands containing any kind of beads you need.
Where Will You Wear It?
The next step is to decide the purpose of the piece. Is it something you plan to wear frequently to work or school? Everyday jewelry should be made of durable multi gemstone beads, such as different varieties of quartz that score a 7 on the hardness scale. If it is for a special occasion like a prom or wedding, you can use more delicate stones like opals or something that is more expensive like rubies or emeralds. Will the piece be an accessory for a particular outfit, or will it be an attention getter?
What Materials Will You Use?
Your chosen style and the purpose of the piece will help you decide what materials to use. Do you prefer brightly colored, dyed beads or natural looking earth tones? Do you like heavy, chunky pieces with large beads or light items with tiny chip beads? What shapes do you want to use? At GiveMeMoreBeads, you can buy collections of different multi gemstone beads strung together for your jewelry project. There are many strands to choose from with different colors, materials, shapes and sizes. Don’t forget about clasps and closures! Gold findings look good with warmer colors like yellows, reds and browns, while silver works better for black, white, blues and purples.
Make a Drawing
Once you have an idea of what you want to make, draw a picture of it. Don’t worry if you can’t draw perfectly. You are just trying to get an idea of what it might look like. Don’t be surprised if your design changes once you see it on paper.
Set a Budget
Most of us don’t have unlimited funds, so setting a budget for your project is a good idea. Fortunately, buying multi gemstone strands is a great way to save money. There are many strands to choose from with most of them priced at less than $20. Buying multi gemstone beads is a fun and economical way to experiment with different stones. Pick up some beads and and let your creativity flow!
