Beautiful! What I love about this piece is the asymmetry in the shapes, but symmetry in the colors you put together. This is the secret in getting asymmetric to work, I think. Great work Dianne. Thanks for sharing.

I find that if you check out what is “trending” in the high-end stores (Like Nordstrom) you can catch some inspiration from the designs they are selling. I also find the fashion game, Covet, to be a good inspiration. They have all the trending styles, shapes and colors in their game.

A happy ending to my story. I showed this necklace to a friend and she fell in love with it so this piece has a loving home.

Thank you all for your wonderful comments. It’s great to get feed-back from other designers. Caron—I switched from gold wire to copper and it did make a big difference in the look.
I think once I get more practice with asymmetry I may find it hard to go back to symmetrical designs but they have their place as well, as I have a feeling not all customers will be comfortable with the other look.
I have made an asymmetrical necklace for a friend that is very conservative in her tastes. I am giving it to her tomorrow and I am going to be interested to see her reaction. 🙂

Dianne, it’s lovely! I have a hard time with asymmetrical designs. I think it’s because both sides don’t look the same. 🙂 Copper was just the right touch with the other colors in the piece. Bravo!

It was a challenge for me to do asymmetrical designs, too. Now I love the freedom of creating a piece this way. Your colors and design are very pleasing to the eye. Keep up the good work!

Hi, I’m also from Arizona. I just wanted to compliment the colors! They are beautiful, as is your necklace!

Thank you for your lovely message, Dianne! 🙂 And I’m glad to hear that the asymmetry post was helpful. Making things asymmetrical is an interesting design challenge. Your necklace above is very attractive – I especially love the colors you’ve put together!
