Art of Using Color Wheel for Designing Jewelry - 2

Learning about colors is a beautiful journey. When you are able to use Color Wheel Magic, it can help you to create spectacular results while designing bead jewelry. In my previous post Art of Using Color Wheel for Designing Jewelry - 1, we talked about first four basic color combinations/ schemes of using colors. As promised here is remaining two basic color schemes I find interesting.

Basic color wheel

Triadic Color Scheme - This scheme uses three colors, equally spaced from each other on the color wheel. Visual contrast in this scheme might be very high to very low and but it always seems pleasant to eyes.  Following lampwork bracelet by the artist Rickie Voges falls under this category.

Square Tetradic Color Scheme - This scheme  uses all four colors spaced evenly around the color circle. It includes primary and secondary colors of the circle. And that's the reason behind bold look of this Square Tetradic Scheme. My BNB Challenge Vibrant Necklaces is created on this scheme using pink, green, yellow and blue. 

 

So, that's all about the color scheme from my side and while promoting for color schemes I got a suggestion from House of Gems, Inc. about this awesome site color.adobe.com, where you get the most fabulous color templates and various color scheme. I loved the way it allows you to create new schemes and design your own set of templates. 

Apart from this, nowadays I am working on my very first jewelry collection like the "artists" do, its called "Filigree", a collection of delicate wire jewelry pieces. Stay tuned for the new collection.

Until then,

Happy beading!
