I am about a day away from my first shipment of jewelry making supplies to come knocking, plus a paycheck away from buying more! This 4 video tutorial set is fantastic and has given me confidence before I embark on this new creative journey. Thank you for making these - and I am enjoying your other videos as well!
+hilldiggity Amazing! Awaiting jewelry supplies is so exciting. They must have come by now. Are you happy with them? Hope you are enjoying your making and glad you liked the videos. Jessica
+London Jewellery School I'm now addicted to buying beads! lol I made necklaces for the ladies in my family for our "Early" Christmas last weekend and they said they looked store bought! So I think I'm off to a good start. :)
I'm an absolute beginner and love the videos. So easy to follow. I've now made 2 pairs of earrings and 2 bracelets! I'll definitely be making more. Thank you!
VERY GREAT TEACHING! I make jewelry myself and I'm not a beginner, but these instructions are great and clear and I wish I saw this video when I was a beginner cause these videos tell you a lot about materials and how to use them so if you are a beginner this video is GREAT to watch! I HIGHLY recommend! A 10/10!!!!!!
Excellent videos; you have great timing and make it all sound so easy. Can you tell me please what sort of wire I order for the necklace? I know you said .4mm and not elastic but is there a particular name for it?! Thank you.
omg i absolutely learned so much from from this video! thanks a lot and you definitely got a new subie. i look forward to watching more videos from you! great work! i will have to start practicing asap lol
Hello, I really love your videos. They were easy to follow and very informative. I am trying jewelry making for the very first time and thanks to you I believe I will do well. Thank you be well
Love all of these tutorials. I am new to jewelry making and have learnt lots from these videos. I have madly purchased all types of beads, findings and tools so hope I get the hang of making items!! Thank you for putting in the time to make these so we can learn.
+Laura P Hey Laura, thanks so much for the lovely comment and welcome to the world of jewellery making! I'm still addicted to buying beads and jewellery tools as you can make so many beautiful pieces with them. Do let us know if there is anything we can do to help with your jewellery making, Jessica :-) x
This is very useful, with a good attention to detail. Can i ask whether you would recommend using wire guards and crimp covers or do you think they're unnecessary?
I know this video isn't so recent but it helped me so much and same with the other videos. I'm so excited to make beautiful jewelry. Thank you for the guide of how to work with those tools/products.
Hi, I am thinking of starting a business! Do you have any links for jewellery supplies? (Including the ones from the other parts of the beginner tutorial) I have found this so helpful as a beginner! Thank you so much!
I liked your videos, but I guess I wonder why you don't use a crimper tool instead of the chain pliers? The crimper tool gives it a little cleaner look.
I like to show how it can be done with an essential tool, but you're right a crimper tool can also be used and will give a better finish. Thanks for sharing your tip! x
is there any tips for making jewelry from precious stones and beads that do not have thread holes? I have a lot of them as my gifts; and they do not have holes. They are kind of medium size of 8 mm to tiny stones of 3mm. I am trying to find a way DIY with these stones into my own jewelry without poking holes through them, want to make necklace, earrings, rings, and bracelets for myself.
Hello, I am starting my jewelry business and I love your tutorials it's really helping. I do have a question. How were you able to put the wire back though the crimp, I'm having a bit of trouble?
I am doing exactly what is shown, but my crimp is not fastening and slips off when I pull to check it is tight. I have bought sterling silver crimps but to no avail. I cannot continue until I have perfected crimping.
Thank you for the detailed well explained process including how to use specific tools. I do, however, suggest better quality video and audio. There needed to be more close ups with the objects and techniques centered in the camera eye, and very importantly, close ups against a contrasting background. It was often very difficult to see the small details - especially when the objects were held against a similar color background. I also suggest to a higher filming audio volume. It was difficult to hear even with my volume all the way up. The content was great, but better technology would be most helpful. Thank you.
Thank you. Very helpful. I've been making jewelry for a few years now. I did learn some things I didn't know. I'd like to see your school one day. Ora Johnson, Denton, Texas, USA.
Use to make some jewelry years ago, kids came & had no time. Kids r gone & needed ur classes to help me start again. The lovely instructor took her time & explained it beautifully !!! Thanks !
It was quite a while ago, but they look like ceramic beads that have a turquoise & howlite effect to them. Take a look at some of our recommended bead suppliers here www.jewellersacademy.com/jewellery-supplies Hope that helps! x
I've just started making my own jewelry because i've set up my own business selling it I've been making my own jewelry for a few years but only for myself and i got loads of complements so i decided to make a business out of it, The things i have made are simple with gemstones and people love them, I've come across your video in a serch on youtube and i fell inlove with it straite away, i've watched all four and ive learned so much i will be subbing and looking at your site too thankyou for putting this video up its really inspired me :)
Wow! That was a very helpful series!!!!!!! Thanks for the hint of using your little finger to measure where to cut the head pin for making the loop! I have struggled with that for a long time. Now I know how long to cut it and have uniform loops. Yes. Fiddley is a good way of describing the way things get at times when your fingers seem a little to big for working the tiny details. Can’t wait to watch more of your helpful tutorials!
Bought a basic jewellery making kit for fun and didn't know what some of the findings were. Thank you for the great videos. Can't wait to make more complicated pieces.
i actually add the clasp almost the same way but at the end where there is a bit of wire, i put it through cpl beads then cut it even with the bead..its out of the way ,neat and tidy and if something goes wrong, you still have that bit of length to fix the necklace problem if you need too.. Great video though.
Wonderful videos! Very informative. I have learned a great deal watching them. Thank you so much for reaching out and showing people who are interested in getting started making jewelry a starting point. Looking forward to seeing more.
So enjoyed your videos, very instructive, as an absolute beginner i found the videos easy to understand, at 77 years of age this is a new skill to learn
I searched for jewelry making for beginners and found your video watched all four parts learned so much more than expected. Video very well done. My only wish is when you were closing the bracelets and necklace that I could see close up what you were doing. I have an idea, but really wanted that visual. Otherwise perfect videos the colors chosen was gorgeous. Thanks.
Girlfriend! Thank you, so much! New hobby🎉 Just was looking to reassemble my granddaughters bracelet from when she was 2yrs! Learned so much, thank you for CONFIDENCE 🎉
I certainly enjoyed your helpful starter tutorial on making jewelry so very much! I didn't know exactly where to start before. Thank you so very much! I wish you all of the best things coming ahead in 2022! I will be back to learn more from you, Marian.
