How to Find Inspiration for Handmade Jewelry

Ways to find inspiration for your handmade jewelry

How do find your inspiration for your handmade jewelry, writing your blog, or just plain living? Everyone finds inspiration in their own place. We look to nature and the beauty that surrounds us every single day for our handmade jewelry designs. The colours of the sea, the greens of the leaves blowing in the wind, everything around us inspires us. We have even made earring designs inspired by buildings and architecture.

There is no lack of inspiration if you look around with an open mind. We can all be looking at the same scene, but what makes an artist is that we will all see different things and create unique pieces of handmade earrings. I believe this is the most exciting part of the process.  An open mind and an observant eye are the keys not only to making jewelry but also to living life to its fullest, whatever you do for a living.

The biggest challenge for handmade jewelry designers is finding inspiration for new designs and techniques to add personal, creative flair and give them an edge in the marketplace. Each handmade jewelry designer gets inspired by different aspects of their surroundings. Some artists are inspired by nature, wildlife, and animals, while paintings and other artwork inspire others.

If you think of cat jewelry watch the moves of the cats and how they play. You will notice that cats all have the same characteristic moves, and if you can capture them with your imagination, you will come up with outstanding cat jewelry bracelets and earrings. You can even design a matching cat necklace for them as people love earrings, bracelets, and necklace sets.

If you are talking with your customers, even making custom-designed jewelry pieces for them, you can get lots of design ideas from them. For me, the customer has always been the source of inspiration. If you listen to them, you can also incorporate these ideas into your creative style. Once you finish your unique earrings or bracelets, you will be able to see the final result and might want to modify some parts. While you are doing these, you might even get other inspirations. Sometimes great ideas come while you are fixing a jewelry piece.

Nature, animals, wildlife, historical motifs, and native designs are also great sources of inspiration for making horse jewelry and other unique jewelry designs. All you need is trained eyes to see them and to incorporate them into your own style and imagination. We might all be looking at the same thing but seeing different things, and we all have different imaginations of seeing things to get inspiration.

But what do you do when your pool of creativity seems to have dried up? Creativity is not something that can be pushed; you get the same old things, and it feels like you’re going in the same circle. It’s time to take a break from your everyday life; go for a walk, visit somewhere new, get away from things that cause you to stress, and do something fun.  You’ll be refreshed, inspired and feel a new enthusiasm for your work. Who knows, you might even have missed it!
