JEWELRY TOOLS: THE BASICS
When making jewelry you need a number of basic tools and findings. These basic elements are extremely important and indispensable for making all kinds of jewelry. We will go through the most important basic tools with you so that you are immediately aware of what you need and you will not be faced with surprises!
JEWELRY PLIERS
There are different types of pliers that you use for jewelry making. Each set of pliers has its own functions and properties which we will explain briefly:
Side cutter
With a side cutter you can easily cut all kinds of material. Suitable for head and eye pins, metal wire, rolo chains, bead chains and leather.
Round nose pliers
With round nose pliers you can form eyelets with memory wire and head and eye pins. You can attach clasps, charms or other jewelry findings to these eyelet. Round nose pliers are also used for wire wrapping with copper wire.
Flat nose pliers
These all-round pliers can do almost everything. The flat sides allow you to squeeze crimp beads (crimp bead covers) and ribbon ends closed and you can open and close jump rings with them. In addition, the flat nose pliers also have a small cutting section with which you can cut different materials.
JEWELRY CLASPS
Of course you will finish your jewelry piece with a beautiful clasp. Of course you need clasps for this! The most famous are lobster clasps. But other clasps such as toggle clasps, spring ring clasps or buoy spring clasps are also beautiful clasps for your handcrafted jewelry.
Tip: To use jewelry clasps you need these findings: jump rings, crimp beads and crimp bead covers. For more information about these components, read our blog ‘Explanation jewelry making’.
You can of course also use magnetic clasps when finishing your flat or round leather cords. By applying a small amount of jewelry glue to the inside of the magnetic clasp you can attach the clasp securely to your leather cord.
BEAD DESIGN BOARD / JEWELRY MAKING KIT
A bead design board is ideal for making jewelry. A bead design board has several functions to help you make bracelets, earrings or necklaces. A bead design board comes with measurements, practical compartments for your findings and helps you to prepare the correct layout of your design.
