Making Jewelry Findings
If you have the right tools it is absolutely possibly to make your own jewelry findings. Popular make-your-own items include jump rings, earring hooks, and hook and eye clasps. These are generally very simple findings. With enough practice you can get creative with homemade findings and they can look just as good if you use the right materials and tools. You'll want to use good quality wire that is malleable, but not too malleable and you should be patient. If you are handling precious gems or pearls, you may want to consider buying high quality findings. It would be tragic to lose something special because of an experimental home made jewelry finding.
