[Jewelry making - Article 00451] - [Orchid] Proportion and Size of pendants

Hi

    I had a thought the other day of making a pendant with an outer edge
    decoration of varying sizes of spheres, ovals, rectangles, and
    spikes. It is, in my head, similar to a cityscape (although I
    couldn't say what's up with the spheres....maybe it's a futuristic
    city). Anyway, on my first attempt, the effort was not daring enough.
    The edge was not really noticeable. I was wondering...what is the
    name of the study of proportion? In other words, the design of pieces
    with the proper symmetry, size, proportion....I don't know if I am
    saying it right, so I hope I am not being confusing. Do people just
    judge by eye what looks good? Do you keep going back to the drawing
    board until you get it right? 

Thanks
Kim Starbard
