The Fascinating Art of Designing Jewelry

By Trevis Chopra


Jewelry design and production is a craft that is thousands of years old, a fact that many archeological finds have revealed. What is so interesting about this field, or form of art work, is that it can be done on any level. You will be able to find some amazing pieces made by highly experienced independent jewelry makers. Then there are companies that take a particular design and manufacture them in large numbers. It all starts with a basic concept and boils down to the creativity of the designer. Considering the massive numbers of alternatives produced every year, it is a testament to how creative the individuals in this field are.

There is an entire process used to take a raw gemstone and produce the end product. The first thing that happens is that the gemstone goes through a grinding or a sawing process. After this is done, there is a lapping process along with a bit of grilling. Using his or her trained eye, the expert gem cutter will utilize these procedures in the proper manner to get the right result. Everything depends on the shape and size as well as the type of setting in which the stone will be placed.

The reason for its name is because the particular type of cut that it has allows for maximum reflectivity of light. To get such an effect, the overall shape of the stone becomes conical in appearance. The reason for that is to affect a reflection, or directing, of the light to the top of the stone where it emits. Though beautiful, the stone is cut down to over half its original size when this is done. The geometry of the stone plays a large role in the type of cut that you choose for the gem.

Make sure your jewelry matches your wonderful personality. You'll see that trends change quickly in jewelry as they do in clothes. That's part of the fun of it too. Keep a few classical pieces that will never go entirely out of style. But include a wide variety of options in your overall collection. When you do this, you'll always have the perfect piece for your next occasion.

It is a matter of taste between silver and gold, but many people would much rather have silver because of the unique design work. Silver has a totally different type of elegance than gold. There are many places where you can find an eloquent piece of silver jewelry, just right for your special person.
