How would you define a jewelry collection?

Something that is tied together in some way, by topic for example or stone or technique or maybe even just by a time frame?
I never made any collection, can you tell?

A jewelry collection is when you have a certain idea of jewelry (in the case of jewelry designers) and you implement the idea in a whole number of jewelry pieces with the same theme. For example - you want to make a collection with a certain flower. You make a ring with this flower design, then a pair of earrings - studs, long dangles, short dangles, etc.,then - a bracelet- one strand, 3 strands,10 strands. A bangle, a thin bangle a thick bangle.... the same goes for necklaces - pendant necklace, bib necklace etc.
To cut a long story short - you can use the same theme for 20 - 40 items or more. Professional fashion designers change their collection every season.

I've never made a collection either; don't have a long enough attention span to make so many things that are the same. Thank you for such a clear and concise explanation of what a jewelry collection is, Irith.  Dawn |

I suppose you all know what a collection is!.. Collections take a lot of time,but this is what is expected from professional designers. Truth is one can come up with a certain shape and play with it endlessly, but to me life is short, and I would like to spend my precious time on many other new ideas:)

Irith nailed it! =D
Since I started doing collections...people seem to respond better to it. When I do something one-off or really unique I don't get the same response. It bothered me a bit at first...but now I don't care. I still make both.
