How to Use Jewelry Making Tools

In making your own jewelry, the first things you would like to prepare are your materials and tools.  Many are still questioning what are those tools typically required in making jewelry, and how they can use it, or are they actually important?  Do they need all those tools in making jewelry?  Well, occasionally it is necessary to have all those tools prepared, it is better to be well supplied always.  In this post you'll be taught about the tools in making jewelry and their correct use. 

Starting to work with tools can be perilous if you are not familiar with them so finding some safety tips in jewelry making advice is vital to do.  Even learning a simple design like how to make a button bracelet will require some information and safety guidelines to make sure you don't injure yourself. 

Pliers - this jewelry making tool includes different shapes and sizes.  These are the examples of pliers : Long Flat Nose, Long Round/Flat Nose Pliers, Round Nose Pliers, Split Ring Plies, Round/Conclave Pliers, Nylon Jaws ( Flat Nose Pliers ), and Bead Crimping Pliers. 

Long Flat Nose - this kind of pliers is used to form, shape, gold or straighten wire without damaging the metal itself. 

Long Round Flat Nose/Flat Nose Pliers - this is used to loop, bend or coil wire or flat stock without damaging the metal. 

Round Nose Pliers - this sort of pliers have two conical jaws.  This is use in making loops with beading wire or other materials.  The loop size is decided by how far the jaws are made.  If you want to make little loop, make it near the tip of this pliers, otherwise huge loop is made close to the hinge of the pliers. 

Split Ring Pliers - this is a special kind of pliers used to hold a split ring open for connecting other parts to the ring.  Simply insert the curved tip of the pliers into the ring side and by squeezing the pliers handles, it open split rings.  In adding charms or beads to the ring, the curve tip soundly holds the ring. 

Round/Conclave Pliers - this type of pliers is used to reshape ring shanks and it's also utilized in bending or forming wire and flat stock. 

Nylon Jaws ( Flat Nose Pliers ) - this kind of pliers have jaws that are made from nylon.  The nylon is softer than the jewelry wire that can't make scratch or mark the jewelry wire.  This is commonly used in straightening wire and squeezing wire components to squash and harden them.  When straightening, the wire is pulled through the jaws of nylon jaw pliers. 

Bead Crimping Pliers - this is used in squeezing tubes and beads into smoothly round shape crimps without making unwelcome pointy edges. 

Cutter - example : End Cutter, Side Cutter, and jewelry Sniper. 

End Cutter - the end of this cutter have jaws that are blunt with blades perpendicular to the handles.  This is use in making pointy and clean cuts on wire.  The blades at the end proved more cutting leverage. 

Side Cutter - this kind of cutter have jaws that are pointed and angled.  The angled is designed nearly parallel to the handles so that the cut is formed the top side of the cutter. 

Jewelry Sniper - the jaws of this cutter are pointed.  This is commonly used for sheet, wire and beading twine or string. 

Tweezers - this hand tool is employed in picking up tiny objects like beads.  It's also utilized in grasping and holding beads and bead stringing thread. 

Now that you have awareness of the different tools that are used it's important to learn when beading how to organize your beading stuffs.  Having tools scattered around can mean that they get lost or damaged; being organized will save you masses of time and help you become more productive.

How to Make a Sapphire Crystal Bead Ring

How do you put the bead back in a captive bead ring?

I understand how to do it in theory, but i just can't seem to get it in. Does anyone have any tricks or something? =/

Take a pair of tweezers or needle nosed pliers to GENTLY separate the ring just enough to pop the bead back into place. Tighten the ring with the pliers if necessary. In the future just buy a pair of the special ring pliers that piercers use to do the job.
