Default variable spacing schemes for dovetails

Hi guys;

I'm building some dovetailed jewelry/treasure/keepsake boxes for
Christmas, and I want to vary the size and spacing of the dovetails
for a bit more dramatic effect than the usual constant size-spaced
dovetails. (I'm using a Leigh D-4). But the spacing schemes I've
come up with so far just don't seem to look right.

Anybody have any suggestions? Is there a "rule" for variable spacing
analogous to the "golden rectangle" for box dimensions? Any soures
for inspiration (i.e. pics)?

Thanks a heap,
-Zz
