To be a successful designer you need to be able to create unusual designs. The collection needs to have a lot
of variety as customers look for unique pieces to wear. Customers will expect a high level of skill even in
hand-crafted pieces, so it is important to have all of the key basic skills. Customers will pay more for pieces
if they believe that the product is of high quality. Learning the basic principles of jewellery design is very
important. You will have to consider colour, texture and balance. You will also need to know how to handle
a wide variety of different materials and understand how they work together. Customers also like the idea
of being able to have customized or personalized pieces that can make regular pieces unique to them.

Peru produces some of the most beautiful common opals in the world. They are often cut into
cabochons. Peruvian blue opals are relatively rare and only found near San Patricio. They are translucent
stones. The opal is the national stone of Peru. If the blue colour in an opal is uneven, then it is probable
that the stone has been dyed. Dyed stones are very common and are much cheaper than the real thing.

there are often white streaks in the stone.
