But What Exactly Are Rondels?
A rondel is a small, round spacer bead that adds a pop of flair and functionality to your designs. Typically made of metal (*ahem* gold), glass or stone, rondels are often used to separate charms, or to compliment the star of the show. They’re just as fun to collect as charms – even multiple strung on your favorite chain, makes for an effortlessly stylish look.
Sizes and Shapes to Suit Every Style!
Rondels are more popular than ever, now available in a wide range of sizes, designs, stones, and colors to help you express your unique style. Want something edgy? Try a spiked diamond rondel. Looking for a subtle, sweet touch? Pair your existing charm with a delicate multi-sapphire rondel for a perfect, understated vibe. Rondels allow you to customize every detail to create anything from a beautifully unified design to a striking abstract masterpiece. They also seamlessly blend with your existing jewelry, offering endless possibilities to mix and match pieces that you already have!
Styling Tips: How to Incorporate Rondels into Your Jewelry
1. Playing with Proportions:
When it comes to balance, rondels have you covered! Use larger rondels as focal points, or wear them solo on a wire or omega chain for a minimalist statement. Repeat similar rondels on both sides of your piece for harmony, or mix and match them for an asymmetrical design that’s full of personality. Alternate rondels with other charms or stack several rondels together for a layered effect that makes a statement.
2. Mix Metals, Stones and Color:
Create dimension by mixing rondels of different metals and finishes for added depth and texture to your designs. Don’t forget about the magic of sparkly rondels! Some feature stones, while others are stone-free—either way, they catch and reflect light beautifully. Use their reflective properties to add a little extra shine and bring a touch of sparkle to your design, especially next to charms that could use a little oomph!
3. Highlights and Accents:
Rondels are perfect for spacing out larger charms, helping draw attention to key pieces while maintaining a pleasing flow. Try layering charms and breaking them up with rondels to give each element some breathing room. Pair them with smaller elements or charms for balance and subtle texture or highlight focal features—like complementing stone accents from a rondel with similar accents on a large charm for a cohesive look.
