Geometric Shapes • See how structure and style come together when a variety of geometric-shaped materials are combined in these seven unique jewelry designs.

V-Link Necklaces • This sweet set can be assembled in no time by adding a handful of beads to the V-shaped connectors and then attaching a chain and clasp.

Modern Edge • We love the minimalist design of this super-chic necklace, a look achieved by combining an assortment of geometric shapes on a dainty ball chain.

Hip to Be Square • Use square stitch to form a trendy focal piece in a neutral color palette or change up the colors of metals and seed beads to match any outfit.

Circle Gets the Square • Repeated colors and shapes in this super-wearable necklace design allow the pendant to take center stage.

Sky Portals • Inspired by science fiction novels, this necklace seems to offer a shipside view of what the universe might look like from space. The use of three squares in the sea of round elements mimics the windows on a ship and adds unexpected drama to a simple design.

Bucky’s Playground • Twentieth-century architect and inventor Buckminster Fuller called the cuboctahedron (a geometric shape with a combination of triangular and square surfaces) a Dymaxion. Here, the artist balances three Dymaxions to create a playful pendant.
