My opinion about jewelry making

Sometimes I would like to make jewelry by myself, not for saving money, but for fun. Imagine that if you can make your ideas come true, what a happy thing of it! And more over, you can make the jewelry as a gift, you can send it as a gift, really a good idea.
But what should you prepare if you want to make jewelry by yourself? In my opinion, beads, beads caps, wire, terminators, tools and even charms etc.. For these things, you can buy them from online store, and also I recommend you to buy them from one store, for if you buy them from different store, you can may not fit for you jewelry.
Then is the process of making. There must be a lot of videos and articles about how to make jewelry online, you can do what they told you to make your own jewelry and
you can also make them by your design, that must be very funny.
The basic thing is what you want to make. Necklace or bracelets, or even earrings? The easy one is necklace, there are some unfinished chains for you choose, and then
add a pendants for decoration.
Here are some jewelry findings I bought from online store. Wholesale beads store, and also some other jewelry findings.

What is earwire?

One type of finding used for earrings is an earwire.  As the name implies, an earwire is for the ear and is made of wire.  An earwire normally goes through an ear where it is pierced, although there are large earwires or earcuffs that fit around different parts of the ear.  The area where a dangle or wire wrap is hung is often called a "loop".
Earwires are also known as "french wires", "earring hooks" or just "hooks".
Earwires are produced in precious and base metals.  The materials most often used by the DIY jewelry community will include:
  • Gold-Filled
  • Sterling Silver
  • Silver Plate
  • Gold Plate
  • Antique Brass Plate
  • Bright Copper Plate
  • Antique Copper Plate
  • Gunmetal Plate (Hematite/Hematine)
  • Black Oxide Plate (Matte Black)
The plated earwires are most often made over brass or surgical steel.  People with nickel allergies will want to avoid many gunmetal plates, which are defined as "black nickel".  U.S. and European-standard sterling silver will be nickel free.  Many people look for earwires which are both nickel free and lead free.

The newest style beaded jewelry, do you love it?

 Beaded jewelry are very fashion in recent years, and what kind of jewelry do you love most?
Jewelry and ornamentation have been a part of cultures all over the world probably since it began. As people began to experiment with the resources around them-stones, trees, plants, clay, etc, they began to see great opportunities to create beautiful things. In tribes of old, the spiritual and political leaders of the community were sometimes designated by the kind of jewelry and accessories they wore. It was a sign of something special-of social advantage, or of power.
These people crafted necklaces, head adornments, and other things to drape on their bodies out of many things. Sometimes they would string them on plants or animal skins, and, of course, all were made by hand. Beaded jewelry was the norm, because most everything had to be crafted, and then strung on some kind of strand or chain. Almost anything could become a bead: a bone, a small rock, some precious stone or metal, or even hair or parts of an animal for good luck.

Jewelry making-love of ornaments

Jewelry has been appreciated by ornament lovers since ancient times. It was made with hands before the invention of machines. Garlands of flowers, bracelets of woven grass, shells, and stone are all examples of Handmade Jewelry. Making jewelry on machines is much economical than the crafting ornament items by hand. However people again started to show their great interests in using hand crafted and engraved ornament items for the past decade. Now they are ready to pay even greater value for a handmade masterpiece.
Unlike machine made jewelry, hand crafted ornament items are made using old metal-smith skills that is why each hand made item is unique in itself.
