You may recognise this young lady from some of the images from the website, she’s previously modelled some of our tiaras, hair accessories and jewellery.
Anita was in here GCSE year and she wanted me to design a tiara with matching jewellery for her prom. Her dress was being creating in this gorgeous blue fabric and as soon as I saw it I knew which crystal colour would match perfectly – Indolite. It is a teal – blue colour, that really stands out and makes an impact unlike some of the more subtle colours.
The Process of Designing Anita’s Tiara and Jewellery
Before I even started to think about designing the style of tiara and jewellery for Anita, I needed to get a better idea of how she was planning to wear her hair for the prom. Not only does this influence the design of the tiara but the earrings and necklace as well.
It only took here about 3 minutes to style her hair like it would be for her prom. I wish I could tame my hair that fast. As you can see her hair was up, exposing her neck and ears giving me a great opportunity to design something that will fall elegantly. For her tiara the most obvious place to position it would be where the fringe meets the parting of the backcombed hair, as it’s shown in the picture. But because the simplicity of her hair style I wanted to ensure that the tiara didn’t hide the backcombed hair.
You can see from the picture that the tiara that I designed doesn’t over power the hair style and neither does it get lost in to it.
The jewellery was much simpler to design. Anita had already fallen in love with a pearl wedding necklace that she modelled for me previously, so I adapted that design with clear and indolite crystals and added a few extra along the way.
