Hi all, I want you guys to show what exercises of recent times. Criticism or educational instructions are very welcome, before I will engrave this. The lines in the drawing of the necklace are deepened by a waltz, but you can make the necklace without that floor. Greetings Caty.:drawing: Necklace 002 J-C C 2.a.jpg Necklace 001J-C C1a.jpg Neckace-003-J-C-C-1a.jpg Necklace-002-J-C-C-2a.jpg Necklace-002-J-C-C-1a.jpg Necklace 001J-C C1_2a.jpg

Loverly work I like them all, but the one that really makes me look twice is No 4. It's a little out of the square looking for adventure I like that
But hey I am a complete novice and as yet havn't even completed a project apart from lots of practice plates
Cheers Graham

Caty, as this is about jewelery design, I can give you a good advice.
One basic rule is: roundness. Over 90% of the people prefer round shapes more than sharp shapes.
Now the designs you have draw, are meant for ladies I suppose. In general woman don't like the shapes "triangle", "marquise" etc.

That is why I asked you "what is your favorite one?" The second and the one with the flowers have the most round form and so does the second one. But still the leave structure on the one with the flowers have leaves like thistles (distels), and sure that ain't women friendly.
Just like thorns, only a few have them as a tattoo.
So if you would like to sell one of these necklaces, go for the 90% of people who prefer soft round forms.

Hi Arnaud, you surprised me with your answer, I myself am totally unaware of this, and just because I'm a woman surprised me so that I have to sign forms themselves. It should therefore also apply to myself or you should only have the outer form and not on the content of the outline. When it comes to the outline I can understand, but in this case, the necklaces that flat chest come down and therefore not really incentives will provide. But you have me now curious and will agree testing among my female friends, and will certainly take into account going, greetings Caty.
Everybody thanks for the likes.
