Gems Sterling

Jewelery-making….designs?

I’m looking for some new, fresh designs, having just gotten a ton of new beads and semi-precious gems. I work mainly in sterling silver, not gold. Any sites on the net woth nice designs and some new techniques, the oldones I’m bored to death with as well as the old designs, which have kept me occupied for a few years now – timeto move on.
Anyone that can help?
Sorry, I think I forgot to mention that I do make all my own, it’s just new inspiration that I need.

You might want to try something like the various jewelry forums at the Art Jewelry magazine website:

http://cs.artjewelrymag.com/artcs/forums

There should be lots of examples and lessons there, as well as just eye candy and inspiration.

Or check out books at a big bookstore or a bead shop to see what they have, or even the libary.

Or do some internet searches, like Google “image searches” for words like:

http://www.google.com/images?q=sterling+jewelry

sterling bead jewelry

http://www.google.com/images?q=sterling+bead+jewelry

Or regular searches for words like:

You might also want to read around on this page re “creativity and inspiration” which would be helpful for any artist/crafter:
