3 Tips a Week

I think 3 tips a week is about all I am going to be able to keep up with now. Also wanted to invite any of you jewelry designers to please jump in and add your tips and tricks here anytime at all. I would love to find out jewelers who would like to be interviewed and featured here on my blog. I don't have many followers at this time but am willing to work hard at it. Let me know through my comments here if you are interested in being a featured seller and being interviewed. Would love to chat with you.

Here is one of the necklaces I just created using the findings out of my shop!!!

Tuesday's Tip

Today's jewelry tip involves crimp beads. I absolutely only recommend using sterling silver crimps beads, the silver plated crimp beads will just split apart within just a few weeks of using them. I do believe that using a crimping tool is the best way to fold your crimp bead. When you just flatten them, that gives an opportunity for your wire or cord to slip out, using the crimp tool, folds the crimp back over itself assuring a tight secure hold. Which is after all, what you want on every piece of jewelry that you design.

See You tommorrow!!
