Silver spacer with heart scrolls and pink sapphire

The use of white space in design is an element familiar to every interior designer, desktop publisher, newspaper person and especially visual artists. In your home, it is wall space … in an advertisement, it is the areas with repetitive backgrounds or background color, and on your Pandora charm bracelet, it is your spacers.

Having every area in a piece of art (or artistically placed jewelry!) filled with a something is not ideal. You do need to incorporate some areas of nothingness, as sort of a relief for the eye.

Too many gorgeous charms, and not enough of a rest for your vision, is definitely not ideal! The charms sort of overtake each other, cramming together so that eventually nobody really sees any of them. This includes you – the person who is most important to please with your jewelry!

Pandora spacers can be seen in the clips section – these include narrow, minimally designed beads to put space between charms – of course! You can also use clips to create bare spaces, which show off the actual chain your bracelet is made of.
