Architectural Jewelry

Architecture jewelry, while not strictly related to geometric jewelry, still uses some of the same elements but with an eye toward more open structural elements, three-dimensional designs and artistic expression over status and wealth. For example, architectural rings will have clearly separated pieces, such as placing the gemstone pronouncedly higher than the base of the ring, or placing the gemstone into a setting of a different size. Meanwhile, architectural necklaces might include a clearly building-designed motif; this piece, which features the building entrance into a mountain fortress with clear elephant motifs around the entrance, uses geometric patterns on its surface but also architectural themes.

All of these are up to you to take inspiration from, and its always fun to mix and match designs. Find the patterns that you or your customers will enjoy the most; look at the geometric patterns that are around you for inspiration. If there are a lot of circles in your area, maybe focusing on geometric earrings to be more appealing. Use colors that pop, because geometric patterns work very well with vibrant colors, and remember that you don't need extravagance and instead can focus on small and simple patterns. Now, while you look for your next pattern, I'm going to figure out if we have any geometric bears since it's the mascot of our area here at Fire Mountain Gems.

Stars can come in a variety of flavors depending on your personal desires. They can be pentagram in nature, the five-sided star, or they could instead be pentagon using negative space to define the shape. They could also be starburst patterns, or you can also incorporate sacred geometry into your designs by using the merkaba star tetrahedron.

The Merkaba star tetrahedron, sometimes called a three-dimensional Star of David, consist of two interlocking tetrahedrons (three-dimensional pyramids) and is said in sacred geometry to embody the geometric and energetic representation of heaven and earth, the human body, male and female and is sometimes considered to represent the physical shape of human energy on higher planes of existence. It is not uncommon for sacred geometry to incorporate the metaphysical aspect of crystals, so if you decide to use geometric patterns like the merkaba star you should keep in mind the metaphysical properties of gemstones to enhance its power.
