Jewelry design
is an art. Not so long ago, it was a niche skill with selected few considered
masters in trendy jewelry design. Today, there are plenty of designers having
their own designs and most of them have created a mark for their brands. While
there are brands that are launched and have a silent death, some are here to
say.
The
market has become accessible to all and a lot of do-it-yourself kits are
available that would help anyone to get started. You may make a few mistakes,
break a few accessories, but ultimately if you have the art in you, you would
design some real unique and trendy jewelry.
Do your homework
Common Base Material
Check the material of the earrings you are designing or
pairing. The base material needs to be similar. If you pair enamel plating with
silver plating, it would not be eye appealing. Have a common material and then
play with the other variables – Color, Style, Shape and Size. Make sure when
you are creating a pair; it makes a nice visual conversation. Anything that
adds a visual interest is attractive.
Bring harmony & Play
with variations
Complementing & Contrasting
Colors
Initially it may look awkward to wear something drastically
contrast in color. However contrast colors enhance the beauty of asymmetric
earrings. As long as the DNA is to make the pair look like sisters, you would
not go wrong. With a little bit of exercise, you would be able to play with
complimenting and contrast color to design or pair your own asymmetric
earrings. Make sure they are different enough to make a nice visual dance.
Theme Balance
Check
for a balance between the two. See if they make a story. When you design just
pick a theme. You could pick themes on fruits, dress, music notes, and
characters. If the two pieces that you are picking tell a story together, they
would look great as a pair. However, if you are making vague choices like
selecting a treble music note with a strawberry, there would be no connect.

Have
you ever tried designing asymmetric jewelry?
Asymmetrical jewelry is obviously developed for pieces that go in pairs. Therefore, the most
common asymmetric jewelry is seen in earrings. It just means that the pair
would be distinctly different, yet something would hold them together and still
make them look like a pair.
So
what is it that you need to keep in mind when designing asymmetric earrings?
Do your homework
Before you get started with designing the asymmetric
earrings, try some leg work. Pull out your jewelry box and try to group
earrings. Do a mix match and see if you can create a few unique pairs. There is
some basic criterion that you must keep in mind, when designing or creating an
asymmetric earring pair. If your pair creates a nice visual, you got it!

with variations
Try doing beads asymmetric jewelry; you can play with the
size, shape and color. This mismatched pair in a bead style asymmetric earring
works well. Try having the beads on a small silver chain and then have some
colored beads or pearls on them. Have a bead in different shapes. The silver
chain makes them look like sisters and at the same time, they have a slightly
different profile. These slight differences that brings in harmony and at the
same time variations, add to the excitement of the asymmetric relationship.
