Choose a Look
Most of us have a particular style we like to wear, be it tailored and classical, easy and casual, or very trendy. Style of dress can be a help when choosing beads for a project. A necklace of pale green fluorite beads alternating with freshwater pearls would go well with a linen suit; a string of over-sized African beads looks great with a casual top, and a bracelet of brightly-colored, chunky square beads is very fresh.
Color
Creating jewelry to go with a particular outfit is the easiest because the colors of the outfit give you a place to start. Decide if you want the gemstones you buy to match the colors in the outfit or contrast with them. For example, if a top has a particular color of green in it, you could choose fluorite beads to make necklace in a similar color.
If you want to use a contrasting color to show off the jewelry, choose the shade that is on the opposite side of the color wheel. So if you have an orange jacket, a necklace of blue lapis lazuli square beads would provide contrast.
Size
Beads come in all different sizes and can be used in a number of ways. You can use one large focal bead surrounded by many small ones to draw attention to the one bead. Many necklaces and bracelets are made with an alternating pattern of larger and smaller beads together. Another idea might be to create a string of similar-sized beads in many different colors, such as African beads.
Shape
Some of the most common shapes for beads are round and tubular, but there are many shapes to choose from, and beautiful pieces can come out of combinations. Some shapes, like hearts, make great accents, while others, like chips and small rondelles, serve as perfect spacer or filler beads. Large, chunky nuggets or natural crystals look great on their own or mixed with smaller beads. African beads such as opals can be purchased in different shapes that blend well to create a coordinated piece.
Weight
Large beads can be heavy, so be careful how many you use in one necklace or bracelet. Make sure your piece is not so heavy that it is uncomfortable to wear. Be especially careful about weight when it comes to choosing beads for earrings. However, some large African beads are actually very light, depending upon what they are made of.
Materials
Quality beads are made from many types of material, including gemstones, metal, and natural materials such as wood or shells. Metal beads work as accents with many kinds of gemstones or natural materials, and gemstones of different types can be mixed for effect.
