If you’ve been following our instagram you’ve seen the new bezel shapes I’ve been using for creating! The bezels I’ve been using are from our Open Pendant Cast Pewter category and our Open Frame Brass bezels category! Click on those categories to shop those bezels.
Creative Process:
Here are those images, plus more of the process.
I have the fun task of designing jewelry samples to support the Nunn Design Mission of inspiring and nurturing creativity. So, I spend several days at my kitchen table working with each new product release. Tough life!
Our 2017 Winter Collection was a lot of fun to create with. With this release filled with bezel choices, I knew that I would like to design with some new collage and transfer sheet images. The images I used for exploring were tree silhouettes, crows, zodiac constellations, flowers and other nature elements, and some classic Italian Madonnas.
We would love to hear from you on which images you like the most, and the bezel sizes you would like the new collage and transfer sheets to have available.
Besides working with collage and transfer sheets, I focused on creating inspiration that incorporated many other Nunn Design Techniques. Such as using organic pieces in open bezels.
I hope you are inspired and excited about the 2017 Winter Collection. Should be another exciting year of creativity!

Gorgeous! I especially love the trees! Would love some boats/ships scenes, too! Can’t wait to play with these new bezels.
Great new bezel shapes! I love the hexagon and tear shapes best. I also love the open bezels.
I love the open frames too. It took me awhile to figure out how to get the sticky tape residue off the back, but now that I’ve pull out my very loved bottle of Goo Gone, it isn’t an issue. Good to hear from you btw!
These bezel shapes are fabulous!! It’s hard to pick a favorite, but the pendant size teardrop would have to be the one. Also the metallic inclusions are wonderful – are these new? I hope you offer the large-ish and small rough mica looking pieces as shown on a black background in the teardrop shape with, is it gel de soleil ? Instructions on that piece would be really helpful. Love this whole collection!

The rough mica looking pieces are indeed mica pieces. We don’t currently offer those, but I will look into it. This tutorial will get you started in learning how to do this. Instead of the transfer sheets, I placed in mica pieces and poured another hit of clear resin over the top. https://www.nunndesign.com/make-these-great-faux-french-enamel-tags/
Teardrop shape is my favorite – need smaller for earrings and 1-2 larger sizes for pendants. 2nd fave is the inverted, rounded edge triangle – nice!
Great idea with the earrings! I did use the open frames for earrings. They are large but a lighter weight.
OMG! Want everything! You are so creative it is ridiculous!
Oh Geez!
I love the half circles and the triangular bezels!

Your earrings are great Larissa! Thanks for sharing your post!
Love the hexagon and tear drop shapes. Love the variety as well.

Glad you like them! The new bezels are a lot of fun!
All of the images are amazing! I love the crows,and black and whites,but the florals are pretty too.The natural elements look stunning,and I think all of the bezels are great! The most annoying thing I find with image sheets is when the images don’t all come in the same sizes as the available bezels. It looks like you have a pretty good range of sizes.
Great. Glad you like the images. We tried to focus on the best selling or newest bezel sizes for these collage sheets. If there are sizes that people want that aren’t available, we can always add to the product line with other sizes. Thanks for your comment.
I LOVE the teardrop and the long rounded point down triangle. I really like the other shapes as well.
The tree scenes really caught my attention.
Thank you! They are my new favorite shapes currently too! The tree images will be releasing soon in a collage and transfer sheet.
Hi there,
I would love to learn how to do this as I have several pieces of sea pottery and glass that I’d love to frame in this way. My pieces are all different sizes and often incongruous which may make it a different type of thing.
Love the tress, especially.
I LOVE the choices of the black and white pics as well as the natural pieces. Incredible, upliftingly fresh and inspiring!
Wow! Thanks so much! What an endorsement!
