A Unique Idea Jewelry Making Brainstorm Session
Looking for a unique idea jewelry making brainstorm session?

Finding new and innovative ideas for jewelry designs isn't easy, but it is those unique ideas that set your designs apart from everyone elses and a truly unique set of jewels will command a high price.
One idea that any jeweler can use to inspire themselves to create is to look at vintage jewelry. There are some very unique and unusual designs from the past that can be used as an inspiration to make modern jewelry in a similar style with a unique twist.

Some of the costume jewelry designs from the 1940's and 50's are highly collectible and studying their construction and design can foster new ideas for making unique designs.
Victorian jewelry can be quite inspirational as well. Study the shapes and colors of the jewelry as well as the materials combined in each piece to try to get a feel for design similarities. You can find tons of old jewels to look at on the web - eBay is a particularly good reference as you can find anything and everything on there!
Modern made jewelry can be inspirational as well. Check out high end jewelry at your local department store or artisan sites on the web.
Now, I don't mean for you to copy what you see - just for you to use the ideas that you see in a different way that is unique to you. Perhaps you can combine 2 ideas that you see to make a truly unique design. Or maybe you see a design that you like in seed beads and crystals that inspires you to make a similar (but not identical) one in sterling and pearls.
Getting an idea for jewelry making isn't so hard - try looking through any beading magazine for tons of ideas, but add a new twist to make it your own. How about using vintage buttons as a clasp or just as an adornment on a piece of jewelry. What about incorporating old fabrics or laminating small pieces of memorabilia and incorporating that into a jewelry design?
Use your eyes to look at existing ideas, but use your imagination to improve on them for unique jewelry making ideas.
