Thank you x
Hi, I’m at university and I’m doing some jewellery making. I found this shop in the jewellery quarter that has some good stuff http://www.jewelsandtools.co.uk/ You can order online and pick up in the shop if you don’t want to pay for delivery (they used to have a discount for online purchases, I don’t know if they still do - you’ll have to double check)

I’m not sure what it is called that I am looking for, but what it is is a metal pendant that I can glue onto inside or even the outside (on top) to make my own jewellery. I am looking for all different shapes and more to the larger size.
www.firemountaingems.com they have everything!

hi i make beaded jewellery and i have a lot and i need a good way to store findings , tools , wire , string stuff and beads . thanks
Hello there,
I have purchased several of the plastic trays that have divided compartments. Those work well for smaller findings. For beads, I use empty jars (we use a lot of Rolaids so I have a good supply of nice sized jars). Baby food jars are a good substitute. Any small-ish jar that you have several of will work.
I have a pegboard on the wall over the workbench with metal loops for my tools. But, they usually end up laying around on the work bench. Periodically, I will clean up the workbench and put everything back in its place.
For my wire, I keep it coiled and keep the coils in folders (the common folders for filing). I keep the folders in a small metal file folder box. I like the folders because I can label the folder tabs. Makes it easier to find the gauge wire you want.
I have a small plastic hinged top box that I use for sterling scrap (filings and scrap pieces). I don’t recall what came in it, maybe cigars.
Also, I picked up a pillcase for $1 at a yard sale. It is the kind of case that has compartments for morning and evening pills for a couple weeks. Why I like it, is that it has separate lids for each compartment. I plan to use it for beads (and the like) that I keep in small quantities (too few to merit a jar).

Something along the lines of different types of beads and stones, some nice white gold necklaces etc…
I have a concern about lead though, I noticed a bunch of warnings on this site about lead in Swarovski jewelry…
Like this: http://www.jewelrysupply.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=35_3042_459_2408&products_id=15148
Im looking for a heart shape like this but am only coming up with that brand with the warning…I dont care if I have to pay more.
I am having trouble finding that exact heart style, but what you are looking for is going to be quartz crystal or "non leaded crystal." Leaded crystal, like Swaroski, sparkle more than other crystal. They add lead to increase the sparkle. The first website below has some more info on the lead in Swarovski. The second website is the best place I’ve found to buy jewelry making supplies (to answer the first part of your question!).

I am visiting the Bullring shopping centre in Birmingham (UK) this weekend and want to know if there are any shops selling loose beads and jewellery making supplies? I make my own beaded necklaces etc and expect Birmingham is brimming with such shops but I do not know the area.
Any advice (with directions) would be great.
Thanks

Do places like Hobby Lobby or Michaels sell good enough supplies, so that I can make Jewelry (like necklaces and earrings) and sell them for profit?
I’m trying to find a way to help my family keep their house.
Yes. You can’t totally skimp - so the initial investment will be large, but they should be good enough to sell.
Look into getting a booth set up at local fairs or festivals. There is still some summer left for that.
Good Luck!
