A Little About Modern Jewelry Design You Might Want To Know

In News

Jewelry is often considered an accessory, designed specifically to uplift your look, but for most women, it is far more. It’s an unsaid way of expressing themselves as the rare gems they are; those carved and molded into a strong and bold form reflecting confidence, grace and passion. 

Earlier, women cherished finery - more was better - multiple rings, large necklaces, and earrings, etc. However, fashion naturally evolved and contemporary styles became all about minimalistic, aesthetic portions like subtly stunning diamond earrings, glamorous gold bracelets, and multi-hued pendants. These styles depict a smooth appearance of beauty, without treading into gauche.

A few components that go into creating today’s brilliant and timeless pieces of jewelry would include: -

Jewelry Cuts

Aside from the multitude of designs to choose from, the type of cut for the gemstones is quite important. Some of the most favored cuts -
  • Oval
  • Pear
  • Emerald
  • Baguette
  • Cushion

A jeweler’s perspective on Modern Design

A jeweler’s main priority is to deliver creatively enticing work that sends a visual message to the beholder and those around. There are multiple elements considered to produce something with flair and poise.
  • Balance - This detail considers how the final product will look; it incorporates the proper distribution of weight, size and area among the various gems and metals.
  • Contrast - A vital factor in designing is color theory and contrast. A complimenting gem can add appeal, like a piercing green Emerald pendant layered with a yellow-gold chain.

  • Emphasis - A formidable stone or exceptional metal used in the design helps highlight the piece’s overall beauty.
  • Harmony of elements - Another critical component is a sense of harmony that must be evident in the combination of metals, precious stones, and the settings. For example, a fabulous blue Sapphire engagement ring, should that be your choice, can be complemented with sparkling diamonds and set in white gold to produce a gorgeously dazzling result any bride-to-be would be thrilled to wear.

Gemstone Settings

The process of making your everlasting jewelry also includes the setting of each stone. There are multiple ways in which gems are attached to the metal.
  • Prong setting - The most popular method, it has 3-4 claws that hold the gem.
  • Channel setting - This technique gives the illusion that the gemstone is floating and is accomplished by holding the stone in between two parallel tracks of metal.
  • Pave setting - A procedure that involves small diamonds closely placed on the band of a ring that hides the metal.
