Jewelry Making Starter Kit: Essential Supplies in Iceland

Start small

Jewellery making is a wonderful hobby that doesn't require a large investment to begin. Here are the essential supplies you need.

Beads and stones

Glass beads, wooden beads, stone beads, and acrylic beads — choose based on your project. Start with a mixed pack to try different types and find what you enjoy.

Findings and components

Clasps, jump rings, chains, earring hooks, and closures form the structural foundation of any jewellery piece. Having a basic assortment lets you try many designs.

Wire and stringing materials

Wire in various gauges, beading thread, and elastic cord. Choose the right wire based on whether you're making bracelets, necklaces, or earrings.

Essential tools

Round-nose pliers, flat-nose pliers, and wire cutters are the three essential tools. With just these three, you can make almost anything.
