Buying jewelry Supplies And Beads Online
In the past you had to drive all over to find your jewelry supplies. And if you like beading you might have to try several places before you found what you want. Now, with all the online jewelry making sites you have a plethora of things to choose from.
All the regular supplies for beading and jewelry making can be found online. Whether you are looking for chains, earring findings, charms or pendants, no problem. Some of the other jewelry supplies you use in beading are bead boards,pliers, tweezers, ring openers, trays and knotters. All the wires, thread, ribbon and leather that you could want to string your Beads on can easily be located online.
You can look up tutorials online on YouTube and other video sites. There is written material if you would rather have a written copy to learn from. Much of this is free which is certainly an advantage.
Beads are measured in millimeters, which is good to know before you order. You may want to invest in a bead measurer to help you out. One thing to keep in mind when you look at Beads online is that they usually look larger than life. They want you to see all the details and color in clarity. Also the bead you see on screen may look perfect and shaped just right, but when you order your bead looks a bit different. Again they want you to see the best and most appealing. All Beads are different which just add to their uniqueness.
There are so many materials, shapes and colors that you can find when looking at Beads it is almost overwhelming. It’s like a treasure chest for the artist. You have to decide if you want large beads, small, round, spherical, etc. One suggestion is that large Beads usually look particularly well on a necklace since they hang really well.
Lampwork Beads are some of my favorites. The first ones were made by a glassmaker and a torch. They have come a long way and are mass produced. They also usually are typically long lasting Beads that come in a huge variety of shapes, designs and colors. Lampwork Beads can make a pretty centerpiece on your jewelry piece.
If you like Beads made of metal you are in luck. Besides traditional gold and silver, there are “liquid gold” and “liquid silver” which come in small metal tubes and look beautiful draped together. You can also choose from copper or pewter.
Pearls are a favorite of many and the genuine cultured pearls are sought after. Be prepared to pay about $100 a strand for them. Fake pears are usually perfectly round and without blemish, while the real pearls have groove and show some irregularity in their shape.
Semi-precious stone buyers should study up and be aware of what type of gemstone they are purchasing since they are also somewhat costly.
Buying your jewelry supplies and Beads has just gotten so much easier and if you shop around you can usually find a good discount online, as well as all the variety you could want.
