Jewelry Making -- Internet Starter Kit

Many people want to get started jewelry making but don't know what to buy.  They want to test the waters to see if they like this new hobby and don't want to spend a lot of money.  The following page will describe the jewelry supplies and jewelry tools to purchase to be able to make the four earring projects shown at right.  For less than $60 in tools, jewelry wire and jewelry findings, you will be able to make the four earrings shown at right.  (To keep your costs down you will make these earrings out of silver-plated wire instead of the gold-filled wire shown.  We used gold-filled jewelry wire because our camera doesn't like to take pictures of sterling silver or silver-plate wire.)  The names of these four earrings are from top to bottom -- Infinity Earring, Queen of Clubs Earring, Spiral Earring, and Spiral-Diamond Earrings.
