10 JEWELRY MAKING ESSENTIALS

Hey Loves...

Today's post will help us understand more about hand made jewelry, i will try answer you question on the materials needed to start your own jewelry business.
here is a list of what you will need.

1. CHAINED NOSE PLIERS.

I use it to also cut wires in case you cant get a wire cutter. but are generally to hold your beads, wire as well as bending the wire and working your way with the jump rings

2.ROUND NOSE PLIERS.

main duty is to create loops with your wires.

3. WIRE CUTTING PLIERS.

Just like the name suggests, you will need it to cut your wires.

4. SCISSORS.

This to help especially where strands are involves, most beads are packed in strands or the paper bags.

5. BEADS

below are a variety of some you could start with.

SEED BEADS

6. WIRES.

below are different sort of wires you can start with

A. BALLED HEAD PINS (for earrings)

 

B. HEAD PINS (earrings)

E. just wire :) best used when making bangles :))

F. Colored wire, this are rare but if you can access some, they make really pretty items and their thickness (gauge) comes in diffrent colors. the most available ones are made out of Steel and brass and are quit affordable.

6. STRANDS/ BANDS.

Used to make necklaces as well as bangles. this also come in different gauge (width) and some are elastic. See here for a sample of a D.I.Y on an Elastic Bangle.

7.  CLASPS.

To complete your necklace or bangles. there so many options and will mostly be made of steel, brass and copper.

8. EARRING HOOKS.

Steel and brass hooks are the most available ones. You will need them in making your earrings.

9. JUMP RINGS.

They are used to join loops especially when making earrings and a loop holding the beads needs to be connected with your earring hook. See here for a D.I.Y on making an earring.
