Jewellery Colour Coding!

I’ve noticed that many of my jewelry customers buy my pieces based on colour so I thought that this might be a good topic to expand upon.

It could be when they request made to order items. They usually start by asking for a specific colour, or if they are browsing through my displays they sometimes find a colour that they realise they can’t leave without.

Colour is a major feature when I shop for jewellery supplies. I have to make an effort to buy beads and other items in colours that I wouldn’t personally buy for myself. This is so I have something for everyone’s colour preference. Although about half my bead supply is in my favourite colours. (Old habits die hard!)

I’ve been though a couple of blogs and they all mention the Fugly Colour Phenomenon. It’s when I build something experimental with a new colour scheme and it turns out looking sooo unsightly that I hesitate to put it on display. Someone always convinces me to exhibit it and guess what!, it’s truly unbelievable, but it’s the first thing that sells. I can never understand it.

And i’m going to end this by mentioning  the most popular colours in jewellery making: hot pinks, fuchsia, orange, turquoise, royal blue, and bold purple to name a few! These colours are flattering when worn as jewellery and can add a much needed splash of colour to brighten up your wardrobe.
