Jewelry Making Kits

Both professionals and amateurs use jewelry making kits to make minor repairs or to create special jewelry. Kits are available for beading, wire making, rings, bracelets, chains, earrings, anklets, and other types of jewelry. Each jewelry item requires special tools and techniques.

These kits have essential tools like nylon jaw pliers, fine step jaw pliers, bent chain nose pliers, flush cutters, loop closing pliers, magnification glasses, and jigs. The kits often also have an interactive CD ROM or a printed booklet that gives detailed instructions on jewelry making and repair. Also included are sample designs that you can use to create your own jewelry. Some kits also include basic raw materials like beads and wires that you can use to learn important techniques before attempting to work with precious gold and gemstones.

Cutting gemstones and mounting them is a very skilled and specialized art, and should be done only after a through training. Also, if you plan to use Bunsen burners, take proper fire safety precautions.
