Jewelry creates a series of dilemmas for the jewelry maker — not always anticipated by what most jewelry makers are taught in a typical art class.
That’s the rub!
Painters can create any color and color effect they want with paints.
Jewelry makers do not have access, nor can they easily create, a full color palette and all the desired coloration effects with the beads and other components used to make jewelry.
Jewelry is not like a painting or sculpture that sits in one place, with controlled lighting, and a more passive interaction with anyone looking at it.
Jewelry moves with the person through different settings, lighting, times of day.
Jewelry sits on different body shapes.
Jewelry must function in many different contexts.
Jewelry serves many different purposes.
People use and understand colors using their senses.
These perceptions among wearer, viewer and designer include:
(1) The Sensation Of Color Balance
(2) The Sensation Of Color Proportions
(3) The Sensation Of Simultaneous Color Contrasts
Better designers are able to manage these sensations. They do so, in major part, by relying on a series of color sensation management tools.
