By Sarah Fisher


A jewelry or a jewellery is consists of small materials or items that contain simple but elegant designs which are often worn to be used as personal adornments. The examples of it are earrings, necklaces, rings, brooches, and bracelets. A jewellery can be either worn or attached to a body or to a clothing. Back in history, most of the common materials which are being used are metals and these metals are often combined with gemstones.

Other than gemstones are similar materials such as beads, amber, precious metals, and enamel. The manufacturing of this can be done by either using machines or just the handmade jewelry. The jewelry is composes of different basic forms and these are based on the cultures of people in different places. Some cultures of people are making use of this as an adornment and as symbols to their properties.

The handmade jewellery is assembled and formed through the using the bare hands instead of using machines. So literally, it means that the production of this can be done anywhere even at home. So here are some useful ideas to consider when starting to make your own piece. First, buy your own jewelry kit. Many craft stores have stocks from which you can buy this. Inside the kit are the supplies and the tools that may be utilized for customizing your own piece.

The kit may contain basic instructions for you to refer on, but you can always choose your own design and make use of your imagination and creativity. Second is to pick out what specific jewelry type you are going to make. There are many varieties which include necklaces, earrings, bracelets, or rings. Third is to purchase other necessary tools for making. Aside from the kit, there may be some tools that you will be needing for completing the project.

Fourth, purchase other supplies which you will need that are not also in the kit. Fifth, familiarize all basic measurements. Familiarizing all basic measurements may help you on determining how small or how big the piece you will be making. Most necklaces and bracelets are provided with common sizes.

Sixth is to learn the basic techniques and skills. Before starting the project, make sure that you have acquired all necessary techniques and skills to achieve your project goals. Some basic techniques and skills are stringing, wire working, cutting wires, opening jump rings, and using jigs and pegs.

Seventh is to assembled the needed materials. After selecting a project to be done, begin by assembling and gathering the needed materials. The materials may be either from the kit or the ones that you purchased.

Making a charm earring is one good example for this. Before anything else, choose first the type of charm you want, and make sure it will best fit the piercing that you have. Then after, you can start doing the project by following those instructions provided by the manual or may based on what you have researched.

Lastly, you practice before you start on making the actual project. There are practice wires available in the craft stores. Using these may help you in mastering the techniques. Do several tries and repetitions until the product becomes high in quality.
