Bela Designs Sources of Jewelry Inspiration

Jewelry inspirations can come from many different influences.

The seasons of the year are a good part of my inspiration, spring which I relate beautiful gardens of all different flowers, summer in the Caribbean oceans.

I think of all that I love in relation to each season like lily flowers or seashells and I use them in my designs.

I also have a couple of my favorite styles to help like Shabby Chic and Vintage, Victorian and Birthstones.

When I search for ideas in other designers it usually sets off a whole bunch of my own ideas from just seeing what others are creating and I can sit for days just designing jewelry.



When I do search for ideas, I will always use my own creativity so my design will never be exactly the same as theirs.

My goal is to make jewelry designs that will make you feel beautiful, feminine, sexy, or whatever you are seeking to feel in the outfit you are planning to wear next.



The materials I use are gemstones, sterling silver, Swarovski crystals, 14kt gold filled, sometimes silver plated, lampwork beads, brass, antique silver, and some fashion jewelry.
