The Designs

.
In order to match a piece of jewelry to a person I start with a design.

For this there are a number of questions I ask, like:
  • Is the piece of jewelry going to be a ring, a bracelet, a pendant, or a pin?
  • What stone would you want in your piece? And if you don’t know; what colors do appeal to you?
  • Do you have an idea as to what metal you want your piece to be made out of?
  • What energy do you want the piece to carry?

The next step is to send pictures of stones that can be used, usually through email. For instance like this numite stone:


After there is an agreement about the stone, I send several possible designs:


And finally I put together a quote for the desired design...

The piece that was intended with the stone and the designs above has not been finalized yet - so there are no symbols associated with it yet; no pendant for me to post here...
