I definitely should have watched this before buying stuff online 😅😅
I was just going to do that tooo
@Kabir Larry why would you do that?? Trust issues going on
Saaame
same, i bought the wrong wires lol
Lol Mistakes Watch It First Before you Guys Buy stuffs at online
Right now I’m in the process of buying beads. I had 6 trays of plastic kid style beads I made bracelets with my nieces with. I’m taking out cheap beads and trying to replenish with nicer stuff and get all my supplies. I am also watching lots of videos on getting started. I’ll probably begin with bracelets and then necklaces and earrings. I want to do it all. Struggling with finding the right beads, choosing the size etc right now along with other supplies. Thank you for this video. I’ll watch more of your videos. I think I prefer simpler designs. I’m not very flashy. Better for a beginner I’m sure.
Thank you for being so thorough 👍
Susan Thomas I love your style. Your videos are always so helpful and informative! Thank you! 💖👍😊
thank you SO MUCH for explaining the details about wire
Very pretty necklace. I typically crimp and have about a 1/2 to 1 inch tail fed through the last 3-4 beads at each end rather than cutting it off right at the crimp point. Just for a little added security and also to keep any potential wire end from scratching my skin or catching on my clothes. Congratulations on the channel. I love the design here.
Yeah same her not doing that stressed me out lol
This clears things up so much! Thank you.
Great video, thank you. I’m gathering all the information I need before I get started. (I love your nails!) from Sonia in New Zealand 💐
Thank you so much for making this video, it's so helpful. 😊 I was wondering if I can use 0.5 mm aluminium wire to string the beads through? I want to make the jewelry plastic free so I wondered if metal wires can be used instead of nylon coated wires
Thank u
Your videos are really helpful 🥰🥰
Thank you for showing me this
Great video. I probably need to do something like that as well. Love your studio!
Great video, thanks!
Love Your teaching style..
Like it Wanda hope I can do this God bless you
Great presentation! Very informative. Answered a lot of questions I had. Think I'll make a necklace now that I'm better informed.
Thank you!
Thank you so much love!!
You have great energy when it comes to teaching and I appreciate that so much! Cant wait to put together my first necklace
Thank you
Trank you so much!

Where is the cheapest but best quality place to get supplies( wires, beads.etc.)? Is the link you provided cheaper than Amazon on all products?
I'm actually thinking to start my own small businesses
Best of luck to me 😁
Thank you for this video! Does a necklace have to use a string wire? Can I use a string cord instead, which is very thick thread type of string? What is the difference between them? Thank you.
Hello! So when do you use guard wire?
@jewel School I tried this with 8mm beads, but i found the beads shift left and/or right and don't look aligned properly on the necklace.. The only thing I can think of is perhaps this wire is too thin? Would a good idea be to use two strands of wire instead of one or just get something thicker?
Do you need a specific kind of wire cutter to cut this kind of beading wire?
We always recommend using flush cutters/wire cutters for wire and beading wire unless you're using memory wire which requires a special cutter.
Hello, love your video, very simply stated. I’m trying to make out what brand name you’re saying for crimping tool.
The crimping tool is called the Om Tara ™ Crimping Pliers Designed By Artist Laura Gasparrini. Here is a link! www.jtv.com/product/om-tara-tm-crimping-pliers-designed-by-artist-laura-gasparrini/PLIER99?mcid=XSOjsyt
Which types of wire (what gauge) shall I use to make bracelet please?
Hey there! The supplies details can be found right here: www.jtv.com/product/jewelry-making-101-necklace-essentials-supply-kit-in-gold-tone/JSYT44B?mcid=xsojsyt?mcid=XSOjsyt
Have fun!
I used to macrame beaded chokers when I was around 10. I sold them at school in the 70s for 2 bucks each. I fell in love with beads around age 10.
Do you think it’s necessary to use wire protectors when finishing of the jewelry and adding the clasp? And are crimping beads or crimping tubes better?
They can't hurt. Mainly a wire guardian helps protect the beading wire after adding a crimp bead so the wire doesn't wear down over time, plus it just looks nice. Susan gives a great video presentation on these on the JTV products page. Here's a link: www.jtv.com/product/wire-guardian-appx-4x4mm-in-silver-tone-and-gold-tone-appx-300-pieces-total/JMKIT1592?mcid=XSOjsyt
Is there a set way to know which type of string to use in which jewelry. I’ve seen fireline, beadalon wire, chains, elastic string etc I am just starting to learn about jewelry making and build up my supplies. So far I’ve only made elastic string bead bracelets. I don’t know what is best to use. In wire or fireline etc do you have to add clasp so it can work for bracelets getting in and out? I want to make necklaces, earrings etc just not sure what “string” to use for each.
Fire-line is A thread for jewelry-making. It is a strong braided thread that works well for all types of beading techniques, including stringing. It will not stretch or fray, and resists abrasion. It is best used for looming projects for bracelets mostly and is weaved through the beads with a needles and is tied off. We are releasing a video where fireline is used to loom a bracelet on July 27th. so be sure to check that out!
Beadalon Wire or jewelry wire is a metal wire that can be bent or shaped and is used for making rings, bracelets, earrings and jewelry components such as head pins, ear wires and eye pins. You can add beads to it depending on the thickness. Softer wires can be used for wire wrapping.
Elastic or stretch cord, as you may know, is used to make stretch bracelets and can be finished off by tying it in a knot after your beads are added. It's probably the easiest of wires to use.
For necklaces and bracelets, especially beaded ones, you also can get a 19-strand bead stringing wire and use crimp beads to secure the beads and then add a clasp. Here is a video about that! Beaded Ombre Necklace: czcams.com/video/wiRlXh6ZO1o/video.html
There is also an illusion cord called Supplemax that can be used to make illusion style earrings, necklaces and used to wrap beads to leather. We are working on an illusion earring tutorial, but here is a video about how to use it to wrap pearls onto leather! The Best Way to Wrap Pearls on Leather: czcams.com/video/mTPkWlN_2IQ/video.html
You can use memory wire to make earrings, rings, bracelets and necklaces. The great thing about memory wire is that it is a tempered steel that always holds it's shape. It's great for beading projects, but can require special tools to work with it. Here are a few videos on how to use it!

There are other mediums like leather cord, wax cord, and griffin silk that with a little research can give you some good ideas how to use. Here are a couple of videos on using griffin silk.

What would be the ideal size of clasp and closed jump ring
Mam I want to learn jewelry how can I learn basic jewelry shouldering cutting etc
Pls guide me
Hi new to channel and new subscriber. Great video
Thanks for subbing!
HI, I am stringing a necklace with antique large hole steel beads and some are smaller hole beads also. Would you recommend the 19 ,018 beading wire for this type of necklace? The holes in the larger holed steel beads is not smooth. I am restringing this for a friend and I don't want it to fall apart because of the holes on the steel beads are not smooth. So HELP if anyone can help me it's you. Thank you Sandy
From Susan: That wire is fine! Just make sure to string small round beads with smaller holes between the larger holed beads. That will keep the beads stable - so no friction on the wire.
❤
@glad33155
I always learn something new to use for whatever jewel I am making from watching your show. I also tuck the wire into a couple of beads after crimping. I thouroughly enjoy and learn from your shows. Congratulations to you and the channel.!!!
clasp
wire
crimp tubes
jump rings
If you end up getting copper wire, instead of the other wire, will it work?
A 19-strand satin copper should work the same, yes!
I wish I could see better how you put in those supplies to finish your necklace. I couldn't, understand, if that's the correct expression, what you were teaching because I couldn't see. I couldn't stretch out the image:( any suggestions? I'm using my phone.
Where is the best place to buy all the supplies you mentioned in the video?
@@daverubes9156 go to the first link above, where it says "You can buy these tools online here: www.jtv.com/product/jewelry-m...'
Need help. Im making a necklace with wooden beads and not sure on the wire to use and the thickness. Fishlane is a disaster as it leaves it chonky
I like .018 beadalon stringing with and size 2 crimp tubes! You also may need to use small beads in-between the larger wood beads to make them sit correctly. -Katy
If one is using copper wire what would you suggest for coating it so it doesn't tarnish
Buy non-tarnish copper wire. It comes already coated with a anti-tarnish coating. It's a little more expensive than bare copper wire, but the difference is pennies on the dollar, and you can use it without further treatment. I use it for wirework. It means though that you can't apply a patina for further textural interest such as when you use liver of sulphur. You'd need bare wire for that.
@@BigHenFor thanks 🤗
Hi! You can use an acrylic sealer spray to keep it shiny!
Hello Susan! How can I show you a pair of earrings I would like to make.
Hi! Just tag us on Instagram @JewelSchool
Ok I think I sent it via Instagram!😊 maybe!
Please let me know if it was received or viewed. Thank you much!
What about an adjustable chain?
Hi Deanna! Absolutely you can use adjustable chain, finished or unfinished chain to make necklaces. This particular video deals with essential supplies for stringing beads. We plan on doing an "essential chain" video very soon, so thanks for the suggestion!
Also, try to go for stainless steel findings. There's nothing worse than a tarnished clasp or ring on a gorgeous necklace.
What name of wire?
Hi! This is a 19 strand Bead stringing wire made by Beadalon. 8:14
😆😁
The video of the wire is upside down and there was never a closeup of the information on the spool of wire. I could not see how you crimped the bead because the camera is too far away. You provide very useful information but the videos need improvement so we can actually see what you are doing.
Great info but too fast and not close enough to see everything. -I sent this to my Grandaughter as I already know how to do these.
Must be my phone but this is buffering so bad
meh you skipped some info
What stinks is if you only want to make one necklace or repair one.. YOu end up having to spend as much as a new beaded necklace is worth. I wish they sold very small kits to make it worth repairing a single necklace.
The videos need to be close-up so we can see what you are doing
