Title : Strategy for perfect Jewellery Designing

While designing a piece of jewellery for an individual, so many things should be kept

in mind. Firstly the person from whom you are designing, secondly shapes, styles, and

colors for that particular type of design, including all requirements and limitations that

are necessary to make the piece comfortable and functional. If these aspects are kept

in mind, your client will have a piece of jewellery that will fit an individuals

personality, way of life, and be most becoming to her his appearance. In this way

client will accrue jewellery that can become an integral part of their wardrobe and

remain cherished possession for many years and perhaps many generations.

The first and foremost thing to be remembered is :

Preferences of design : First important point is that the person for whom we aredesigning is a male or female. Knowing this would make the work easier and a

designer can design the piece accordingly.

We must also concern on age factor i.e., kid, youth and aged while designing. Other

then this we should focus on the variety of jewellery to be constructed i.e. ring,

earring, pendant, brooch, necklace etc? This is the most important point which

needs to be remembered during designing any jewellery because lacking here might

cause a complete mess in further designing.

If we have decided this then numerous variations are there to be taken care of, i.e. itshould be a real or costume jewellery.

Theme & Occasion: after deciding the type of jewellery a designer shouldidentify costumers interest in design. Some time costumer orders all designs on a

particular theme for example love, music, ocean etc.

So we must design on those themes by keeping the latest trend in concern.

may be Engagement, Wedding , Birthday, Anniversary, valentine day, Deepawali,

Ied, Christmas, official gathering etc

Size of Jewellery Piece : Some jewellery pieces needed a certain size to wear i.e.Ring, Bangles, Bracelets, Necklaces, etc. Ring Size may be 5 us to 13 us (15.7 to

22.2 m.m.). Use a ring that fits you to determine your ring size. Place your ring over

the nearest size circle. The inner edge of the ring should align with the outer edge ofthe circle then if your ring appears to fit between two sizes, buy the larger size.

If customer wants to buy gold jewellery , the first thing to keep in mind about is the

word karat. The karat is the unit used to represent the proportion of gold in the piece

of jewelry. Pure gold is set at 24 karats but there is no 24-karat gold jewelry because

pure gold is too pliable to be fashioned into any form of jewelry. The diamond

Jewellery is popular in 18-k (75% gold), 16-k (66.67% gold), 14-k (about 58% gold),

and 12-k (50% gold).

gemstones. These gem stones can be used with different sizes, colors, and varieties.

When using diamond & other color gem Stones in jewellery , there are four aspects

that must be considered. These are the cut, the color, the carat, and the clarity of the

diamond. Of these four aspects, the most important is the carat of the diamond. As

the weight and size increased the price become very higher. The facets of the gem

stone should be balanced and this is called symmetry. And finally, the cuts should be

made through specific lines to avoid chipping off the surface. Gemstones should be

clear . No inclusion over it. Otherwise it will less their price. Jewellery last for longyears so try to use good quality of Gem stones whether it can be precious or semi-
