Those who choose to buy commissioned silver jewellery are either guided only by a vague idea of what they want, or want to have recreated a piece of jewellery that they already own but may have destroyed or overused.

This is why there are many clients who may be referred to some basic designs that they can put together into their own unique accessory. After all, many jewellery makers usually have had previous experience in making commissioned jewellery, and may also be able to transform your vision and your general description into a tangible piece of jewellery.

For instance, daisies and flowers shaped from silver can be incorporated as pendants in necklaces, as charms on bracelets, or as individual charms that make up the chain of a bracelet. These flower figures can also be set as centrepiece in an all-silver
ring.

Ivy leaves and other leaf shapes (even filigree leaves) can also be used for the same purposes. With leaves having a more elongated shape, they are at times used as multiple pendants on a necklace spread over the entire portion of the necklace that hangs on the collarbone.

Other popular pendants and charms set in silver are flotsam, inspired by twigs, broken pieces of wood, and other things that are found on the beach brought on by the waves.

Full jewellery designs can also be used in commissioning silver jewellery. Jewellery makers usually have a catalogue of previous works, or have work samples on display in their shelves. Clients can simply choose one of these designs from where they can base their requested piece of jewellery. From there, they can ask the jewellery maker to make modifications to make these basic designs more personalized.
