3 things I wish I knew before making jewelry

1. Buy wires instead of eye pins: 

Investing in wires instead of eye pins can be a game-changer for jewelry makers. Wires are incredibly versatile and can be used for a wide range of techniques, from wrapping and weaving to stringing and knotting. They're also often more cost-effective than eye pins, which can add up quickly, especially if you're working on complex designs. With wire, you can create intricate details, textures, and patterns that add depth and visual interest to your pieces.

2. Invest in good-quality findings and materials: 

The quality of your findings and materials can make or break the overall look and durability of your jewelry. Cheap findings can tarnish or break easily, while low-quality materials may fade, chip, or crack over time. Investing in good-quality findings and materials ensures that your jewelry will last longer and look professional. Look for findings made from durable materials like stainless steel, sterling silver, or gold-filled, and choose materials that are suitable for the intended use of the piece.

3. Use the right tools for the job: 

Having the right tools can make a huge difference in the ease and quality of your jewelry making. Using subpar tools can lead to frustration, wasted materials, and a finished product that's less than stellar. Invest in a good pair of wire cutters, pliers, and other essential tools to help you work efficiently and effectively. Look for tools with comfortable grips, precise tips, and durable construction. With the right tools, you'll be able to tackle complex techniques with confidence and achieve professional-looking results.
