How to Design Jewelry Sets

Video Transcript

"Hi, this is Debra Windsong with Expert Village. In this segment, I'll tell you about sets. And a set can be a necklace, bracelet and a pair of earrings or you can also refer to a set as a bracelet and a necklace or a necklace and a pair of earrings. When you do that, you're just going to pick the, the stones or the beads that are the most obvious from the necklace and repeat them again in the earrings or the bracelet. Or you can have the two pieces be a little bit different but if you capture the main idea, the main coloring, or the main theme of the two pieces then that would work as well. And even the materials that you do use, if you are using wire or wire wrap for the necklace don't necessarily have to be repeated in the bracelet for example. As long as there's kind of the same matching essence. Another thing about sets, if your necklace is quite bold you may not want to have bold earrings even though it would seem like those two go together because in the end the two just overwhelm. So if you have a bold necklace, think about toning back on the earrings. The bracelet would be a different story because that's not quite in the same view. If you have a bold necklace, you probably want to repeat and have the same kind of a bold bracelet. "
