Hi all! I recently received a grab bag of stuff from Fire Mountain. Included were several chains of "gems" already set into metal. Basically they would be a necklace (kind of like a tennis necklace, but the "gems" are further apart), but there is no clasp, and no way I can tell to add one. They just end with another little gem in a setting. They are really pretty, but I have no idea what to do with them. Has anybody else used these before?
You’re right, I should have thought to add a picture. 
Here is a picture of the ends of two of the chains:

Thanks for taking a look!
As a jeweler of 33+ years I’m sure I’ve seen what you’re referring to, but your description is lacking.
If you’ll post a picture maybe we can better answer your question?

I am interested in started to make jewelry at home. I went to A.C Moore and they did not seem to have a good selection of beads in my opinion. They are the only major craft store around where I live so I would like to order my supplies online. If anyone can help me and give me some tips I would take any advice. I am just beginning, I will be starting with beading and polymer clay which I have only done a little bit with as well. Thanks!

You can also try Etsy for jewelery crafting supplies.

I’ve wanted to make my own jewelry for a while but I wasn’t sure what I needed or how to start. I want to make pieces out of little charms and things like old toys as well as polymer clay things. What the basic supplies I need to start jewelry making? Are there any good books for a beginner?

I just bought my supplies for making resin jewelry (trying to keep within a very tight budget and in close shipping distance) and I saw that Mold Release is a little pricey, I was wondering if there are any cheaper alternatives?
I’ve heard of people using the spray canola oil but I haven’t personally tried it so i’m not sure if it would make bubbles or not…

1) Rub your silver jewelry using a clean cloth. If the item leaves black marks in it, the item is sterling silver. Why not purchase real Silver Chains?
2) Nitric acid is the best solution to test silver jewelry. Once applied, it leaves a permanent green mark to prove if the jewelry is real or fake. Why not purchase real Silver Jewelry Making Supplies?
@ Sterling Silver Jewelry is essential to any collection. Enjoy it!

When you sweat heavily and have it on, fake sterling silver usually starts to discolor. Or when the jewelry catches some of your perfume.
