Make Your Own Jewelry to Match Whatever!

Do you love jewelry and wish you could make your own?   Do you often search for pieces of jewelry to match what you like but have a hard time finding the right shape or color?  Are you a stickler for having jewelry that matches each outfit?  If so, maybe you should consider making your own jewelry.

If so, you will start as a beginner and need some tips and techniques to refine your jewelry desires into actual pieces you create.  Beyond the need to create jewelry that you want to wear is also the love of the art form.  You will probably find that creating pieces that match your style, fashion sense and innate need for adornment, will be quite fulfilling and you’ll want to continue to improve your skill sets.

To start making your own jewelry you will need knowledge from experts.  You will also need jewelry making supplies.

Search the web for information on wire jewelry making, design ideas, tips on how to set up and organize your studio, where to find materials and tools, how to use tools, fashion trends, color theory, silver and gold information, tips on cleaning silver, how to purchase supplies wholesale, buying gemstone beads, storage tips, chain making, and much, more.  You can also study techniques from industry experts, read books, attend classes, and get help from books.

And best of all you can make earrings, bracelets, pins, necklaces, and rings to match any outfit in your wardrobe. You can make bold and earthy pieces or light and delicate pieces to suit your taste and mood. You can even make beautiful pieces for family and friends – they make wonderful gifts. And maybe, just maybe, you can start a business and earn money to support your wire jewelry making habit – which is what most people who start making jewelry end up having – a habit, albeit a good one!

    I would like cheaper postage to australia, also can I get various wires to go with my intro DVD, and what gauge wire do I use for the bead ring I have a small hole in beads I would like to use. Thanks

    Hi.
    I was just wondering if there\’s any way to see just one pattern for making the prongs for faceted gemstone rings, that you make with wire yourself. I intend to urchase another more advanced video to add to my collection, but I have some people who want to see some rings now, PLEASE? :)
