How to fine Jewelry

Making your own jewelry is not only a fun and addictive hobby it also has the added benefit that you get to wear what you create However many people don’t really know where to start. It can be really overwhelming when you first decide you want to try your hand at making jewelry because there’s such a broad range of possibilities Just as you wouldn’t expect to learn to crochet knit hand sew quilt and embroider all at once it’s unrealistic to try to tackle every type of jewelry making when you’re first starting out. Instead choose one kind you’d like to make first and go from there. Becoming a jewelry designer gives you the freedom to express yourself creatively and share your designs with the world to enjoy. You have the opportunity to be self employed or work for reputable jewelers across the globe. It is your choice to learn the trade through on the job training or gain formal training at a school. This job is perfect for driven people who need a way to share their creativity and style others. Perhaps you like wearing beaded jewelry best or maybe you prefer the simple look and personalization of metal stamped jewelry. Maybe you want to work with leather clay or glass. Choose one medium to focus on first knowing that you can always try something else later and in fact and the skills may even build on each other and you’ll have an easier time learning a new technique because of what you can already do. Whether you’re planning on working with beads clay metal or another type of jewelry first there are a few skills you’re going to want to know for just about every project you make. Most projects for example will require that you have a basic knowledge of how to open and close a jump ring properly and form a simple wire loop. Once you master these skills they transfer to whatever type of project you’re creating. For your first attempt it may work okay to just borrow the wire cutters and pliers from your household toolbox. But the reality is the better the tools you have to work with the easier the process will be and the better your project will turn out. At first it may seem like a bit of an investment particularly when it comes to specialty tools like metal stamps etc. but in the long run they more than pay for themselves when you’re able to create rather than buy your jewelry as well as make jewelry to give as gifts and or sell to others. Once you have the necessary tools in your stash, it’s usually very inexpensive to make any particular piece. You do not have to limit yourself to designing at a job or school. With the proper tools and materials you can practice making your designs come to life. Materials and tools can become expensive, so you may want to start out with just the basic materials. Here are some general tools to get you started there are so many different types of tools required to make the wide range of jewelry available.
