Artisan Jewelry Crafty Tip

When working with stamped or etched metals, a rawhide mallet is the best tool to use for shaping because it does not mar the design surface.

Artisan Jewelry Crafty Tip

Use matching colors in mis-matching shapes for an interesting look. Monochromatic designs look terrific if you use varying materials with different shades of the same color. Try polymer clay for light-weight beads which look unique.

Artisan Jewelry Crafty Tip

Looking for a cheap and easy silver, copper, or other tarnishable metals cleaner? Try ketchup. Don't try this on items that have beads like pearls or permeable pendants, though. The acid from the tomato is a very nice cleaner, and it's readily available most anywhere you shop!

A great way to clean and remove tarnish from silver jewelry - use an old toothbrush and toothpaste!

Artisan Jewelry Crafty Tip

When trying to choose jewelry for use with more than one outfit think about a piece that combines different metals and ingredients. A bracelet or earring with a mix of brass, copper, and silver can be worn with more things than if it were only one metal. Choose a necklace with several colors and it will work throughout your wardrobe. Mix up your choices and wear your jewelry more often!

Artisan Jewelry Crafty Tip

Always make what you want, it can make you happier and more creative. Do not focus so much on the trend because that will run you down.

Artisan Jewelry Crafty Tip

When designing a piece of jewelry, don't only think about its' appearance but about its' spiritual aspects too. When designing, think about what you want your jewelry to reflect and use the proper elements to achieve that vision. For instance, if you are working with gemstones, to create a loving piece of jewelry you should use Rose quartz and Turquoise, and to distance negative energies use Citrine and Amethyst.

Artisan Jewelry Crafty Tip

Work with materials that interest you. My love of fishing and tying my own flies led me to making fishing lure jewelry. I can try different designs out not only for my lures, but for earrings as well. This keeps me interested in making jewelry versus it being just a job.

Artisan Jewelry Crafty Tip

A useful tip for jewelery makers using cold connection - I recommend "Gorilla" Clear Bond - this is a clear strong craft glue that can be found in hardware stores. After testing many brands and glue types, this is the best and very strong. This is especially important when bonding non-absorbent surfaces, like metals, when you need a really strong bond.



Jewelry by Banou
My jewelry design has a modern contemporary and minimalist look. Each handmade piece will be delivered in a beautiful gift-wrapped box. I love to experiment with different materials including sterling silver, copper, resin and enamel. Be sure to check out my resin rings and enameled earrings and pendants.

Artisan Jewelry Crafty Tip

Take your pictures outdoor in the sunlight - it gives you a more natural light to your objects and you don't need any light boxes as well.



Cinnamon Jewellery
Sterling silver and copper original wirework and bead designs by Tracy. Each piece is individually designed and most are one of a kind. I wrap semi-precious gemstones, lampwork beads, glass beads, Swarovski Crystals and freshwater pearls to create pieces that showcase the wire without detracting from the beauty of the original beads and stones.

Artisan Jewelry Crafty Tip

Sterling wire can be expensive so use copper as a practise wire as it's much cheaper! Also wash your hands before you start handling the wire for your project as any natural oils on them will make gripping the wire difficult.



Nature Themed Jewelry by Casey Sharpe
I transform copper and silver from flat sheets and wire into dimensional representations of animals and other eclectic jewelry designs. I primarily use traditional techniques such as chasing, repousse, and other fabrication methods.

Artisan Jewelry Crafty Tip

Remember to pay attention to all parts of your piece, including the back and the bottom, because these are the little details that encourage people to by handmade work instead of cheaper mass produced things.



Elizabeth's Exclusives on Etsy
I'm a multi-layered jewelry designer. I only use natural gemstones such as peridot, amethyst, labradorite etc. Recently I've moved into metalsmithing and make my own sterling silver and gold filled earwires as well as hammering and melting metal as much as possible!

Artisan Jewelry Crafty Tip

To get a better grip on metal stamps wrap them in self sticking tape. This will not leave a residue on your stamps and you can get a better grip while whacking them with your hammer. A better grip on your stamps translates into straighter letters/designs.
