Jewelry Findings: Ideas for Creating

If you are at a loss for ideas, try taking one of your jewelry findings and setting it on your worktable. By carefully examining its detail, you can brainstorm a number of different potential patterns that will compliment the finding. Look for detail such as engravings, markings, colors, tints, and hues. Don't be afraid to let your imagination run wild and use combinations that you may not have previously tried. This includes mixing metals such as silver and gold, or mixing gemstones with beads. Let the jewelry finding lead the way and the ideas will flow.
