Tips for buying jewelry making tools (Nick R Taylor)

Jewelry making is a good way to express your creative thinking and also you can make beautiful pieces to enrich your style. In order to create your masterpieces, you will need some useful tools that help in giving shape to the wire and transform it in an earring, a bracelet, a pendant or anything else you have in your mind. But one thing you must remember that jewelry making can be a costly affair as its equipments are very costly. So I strongly recommend buying equipment only as you need it because in the process of jewelry making you may need a large variety of equipments, so if you are interested in making earring then it's obvious you don't want to buy instrument which is used for making pendants or bracelet.

Before you go to the shops and buy a bundle of jewelry making tools, you have to know about the basic tools that are needed and how to use them. First of all you have to decide what kind of jewelry you want to make and what kind of materials you are going to use. Each tool reserves a different use and it is used with different materials. Also you need to ask yourself whether you are going to sell the jewelry or you just want a hobby. This question will prevent you from excess money spending.


I have a personal experience about how having the right tools can make a big difference in what can be done and how easily it can be done. Frustration is the number one product of faulty low quality tools. I found this out when I tried to learn watercolor painting using cheap brushes, paper and paint. I got so frustrated that I stopped and didn't return to painting until years later when I took a workshop where they stressed using quality materials and tools. Now I love watercolor painting. The same is true for jewelry making. If you can afford good quality tools, then do so. Having a few good quality tools is better than having a bench full of low quality tools that are hard to work with.

Along with jewelry making tool another essential element is a good work surface. When you have a good work surface, you will be able to carry out your jewelry making task efficiently. Moreover, you will also save a lot of your time because you will not need to chase after rolling beads.
