How to Get Started Jewelry Making

Step 1:  Purchase the list of jewelry tools and jewelry supplies from page 12.

Step 2:  Read and review pages 1-11 of this series.

Step 3:  Don't get discouraged.  Plan on throwing your first several jewelry making attempts away.  This is like riding a bike.  It is easy once you have learned what to do, but it does require practice.  Buy some cheap copper wire to practice if that helps.

Step 4:  Re-read step three.

This WigJig jewelry making project is provided as part of WigJig University - College of Jewelry Making Designs.  We try to provide interesting jewelry projects using beads, jewelry wire and other jewelry supplies.  We hope that these pictures will provide you enough information for you to learn these jewelry making skills.  We have tried in these pages to discuss the skills necessary for making jewelry in the detail that beginners need. We also suggest that beginners to jewelry making might need to visit the WigJig University College of Jewelry Making Techniques for additional information about some of the skills and techniques shown. 

 Most, but not all of the jewelry supplies shown here can be purchased in our WigJig store.  We try to have a complete selection of jewelry supplies in our store including chain, wire, glass beads, findings, watches, tools, etc.
