Don't be afraid to experiment with different sizes, layers, looks to find what works best or easiest and fastest for you to make earrings, necklaces, bracelet, brooches, belt buckles....even picture frames!

--As usual, these layer styles were created with seamless patterns/textures at 300dpi. That makes them easy to size up or down. Please keep in mind that the images on all the product example pages were sized down but were created at 300dpi for the highest quality.

--You also receive 32 different Basic jewelry type shapes that are in PNG file format and 300dpi. They are assorted sizes and black on transparency. Use these to experiment with and to create marcasite shapes you can use in your jewelry and accessory designs!

What's Inside:
--24 (300dpi) different layer styles that give you a variety of Antique Marcasite and Silver looks for your jewelry and accessories.
--32 assorted basic jewelry type shapes that you can make into brushes, shapes or use in png format to accent, highlight or layer with your jewelry designs for a more authentic marcasite antique look.

--Please click on the thumbnails below for a closer look! There is a product example page which shows all 30 different shapes you will receive and and a mini-tutorial showing how you can use layers to make authentic looking jewelry and other elements and accessories.

--Your images and designs will look best if your layers/images start out at 300dpi. That way, you get the best possible results for both web design and printing! If you don't-they will look blurry.

--Usage Tips:
1) Start your new image/layer at 300dpi for best results!
2) Your read me text file explains how to open your styles in order to re-scale them. Layer Styles are completely adaptable.
3) Make jewelry templates with different layers and style accordingly! Many of the examples of I have included have marcasite, silver and pearl or gem stone accents layered together! Always work on a copy of your template and save the original to use over and over again.
