At Bead Inspirations, we believe that everyone is naturally creative. You can make beaded jewelry on your own even though you're not a jewelry designer. Making beaded jewelry can bring out the artist hidden in each of us. In centuries past, wearing jewelry denoted wealth and social status so that only royalty and the very rich wore beaded jewelry. Nowadays beaded jewelry is fashionable and worn by many. If you are not confident enough in your skills, you can always opt to attend a workshop where you will learn all the skills and techniques a beginner needs.

In order to make jewelry, you need to invest in some basic tools and some materials. For this you need to decide what materials you want to use: gemstones, crystals, pearls, silver, gold, plastic, mixed metals, wood or stone, etc. There are several tools that will come in handy depending on what you choose to create:, including: Chain Nose Pliers, Round Nose Pliers, Flush Cutter, Crimping Pliers, Chasing Hammer, Bench Block, etc. You will also want to use wire or jewelry wire or thread, needles, clasps and other bits and pieces known as “jewelry findings”.
