Jewellery accessories - these are the must-haves:
To ensure that your jewellery workshop is well equipped, we recommend a few important basics. You should always have these jewellery accessories to hand. Then you can get started immediately with many pieces of jewellery.
So this is the Top 10 of the most important jewellery accessories
:

1. clasps
Whether it's a necklace or a bracelet, you need a matching clasp for many pieces of jewellery. Surely you know lobster clasps. These practical clasps are easy to use and give chains and bracelets a good hold. These clasps come in many colours and sizes and go well with beads or link chains. If you are looking for a beautiful and easy to close clasp, a magnetic clasp is a good choice. Magnetic clasps are available with an eyelet or for gluing in. Take a look at the complete category "Closures". There you will find many different models. You will be surprised at the wide range of jewellery clasps.

2. binding rings and split ringsBinding rings
are real all-rounders

.

On the one hand, they are suitable as a counterpart for lobster clasps. But you can also use a binder ring as a fastener for a pendant. The application is simple. A binder ring works just as easily as a key ring.A split ring is especially good for connecting individual jewellery elements. You can easily open and close split rings with a split ring opener or flat nose pliers. You can find split rings and binder rings in our shop in many different sizes, shapes and colours.

3. crimp beads & lamination beadsIf
you

want to attach a clasp to a jewellery wire, you need a crimp bead

.

These small metal beads are pushed onto the wire and can be easily pressed together with pliers. The crimp beads will then sit firmly on the wire. In our basic instructions you will also find step-by-step instructions on how to use a crimp bead to attach a clasp to a jewellery wire.
In order to protect the crimp bead and to make the end of the necklace look nicer, you can also hide the crimp bead in a lamination bead. There are many different models available. Take a look at the lamination beads and find out everything about this topic!

4. end caps for ribbons and wiresThere
are a large number of different ribbons made of different materials and with different diameters

.

Of course, there is a matching end cap for each ribbon.
But how do the different end caps differ? One main difference is how you can use the end cap. There are solid end caps, usually made of stainless steel or zamak. These end caps are attached to a band with glue. Spiral end caps are also very popular. Here, the ribbon is pushed into the end cap and the lowest spiral is pressed firmly into the ribbon with pliers. You also need pliers for the end caps for folding. With these end caps, the tape is placed in the end cap and folded shut.
End caps usually have an eyelet. The clasp can then be attached to this eyelet.

5. earring accessoriesEarrings
are pieces of jewellery that you can easily make yourself

.

With the right accessories and tools you can do it in no time. The main thing you need is a fastener for the ear. There are various possibilities. There are fishhooks that you can hang directly in the ear hole and attach pendants to. Ear studs are put directly through the ear hole and attached to the ear lobe with the help of an ear stud stopper. Brisures are generally all earring attachments where a pin is inserted through the earlobe and this pin is then fixed to the ear with a hoop. Round creoles are also very popular at the moment.

6. chain pins and eye pinsChain pins
are

also called prism pins and are a very practical jewellery accessory

.

The thin metal pins are strong, but still bendable. They have a small metal plate on one side. This way you can put beads on the pins. The plate prevents the beads from slipping off the pin. You can bend the upper end of the pin into a loop with the help of rosary pliers. This way you can easily make pendants for earrings, necklaces or bracelets out of beads and chain pins.
Eye pins work on the same principle. Only instead of a plate, eye pins have an eyelet. They are especially good if you want to make an element that has an eyelet on both sides. You can use this for bracelet connectors or chain connectors.
You can find detailed instructions for both chain pins and eyelet pins in our shop.

7. adhesivesNot
all jewellery accessories can be worked with pliers

.

Sometimes you have to use an adhesive. A true all-rounder is the jewellery glue from Hasulith. If you need to work faster, it is always good to have a superglue at hand. There are, however, very special adhesives that are only suitable for a specific use. For example, rhinestone glue for gluing small rhinestone crystals into frames. Glossy Accents glue from Ranger Ink is also a special glue. With this glue you can glue motif sheets under glass cabochons.

8. key rings
Homemade key rings are very trendy. The most important ingredient is, of course, a matching key ring. But key rings are not only available in round shapes. There are also key rings in the shape of a flower or a star. As an alternative to a ring, you can also use key carabiners. You'll be surprised at the choice!

9. necklace loops and accessories for pendantsThese
little pieces are very practical! Collier loops or pendant holders can be used to attach large or small pendants to a chain or ribbon. The application is simple. You usually only need a pair of pliers. In our basic instructions for jewellery we show you how to attach a pendant to a loop. There are many different colours and shapes to choose from to make sure the pendant holder matches your pendant perfectly.

10 Tools & bead boards
The most important thing comes last in this Top 10! Without the right tools, most jewellery projects would not work. We recommend a few basics. In no case should a pair of pliers be missing from your jewellery toolbox. The three most important pliers are the flat nose pliers, the side cutter and the rosary pliers. You can find all three in our shop! Of course, a good pair of pliers is always useful. We also recommend a bead mat. This practical mat prevents the beads from rolling off the table while you are working. A bead board is also very helpful. With a bead board you can lay out your necklace design before you string the jewellery. We also have lots of special tools for many different jewellery projects.


Blanks for jewellery pieces

The bangle blanks can also have a setting so you can glue glass or polaris cabochons on them or preciosa chatons.

They have clasps that are made so that a bead can be slipped over the clasp. The necklaces are available in flexible soft wire or rigid wire. You can easily fill the necklaces with beads. The best thing is that you can always change the beads on the necklace.
Necklaces can be made of different materials. They are the perfect complement to many pendants.

Blanks for engravings

Customisable pieces of jewellery with engravings are very trendy.
In order to be able to create your individual engravings or stamped messages, you need suitable blanks. The range is huge. You can engrave rings, pendants, bracelets, key rings and much more. Depending on the stamping or engraving technique, it is important to choose the right material. We have blanks for engraving in stainless steel, zamak, aluminium, brass, copper or alkeme on offer
