When I was in it, I stood for a very long time and looked at these huge showcases with various incomprehensible things and could not even ask the seller for something, since I had no idea what I needed to do even the easiest work, like filling simple without.

He stood for a long time, until he came out to me, who was the owner, and seeing that I was slowing down and annoying the seller, he began to ask me about my desires. After a short conversation, I decided what I needed and bought it. Came out of the store with two packets necessary tools for making a simple one with one large in the center, you can see it in the photo above, with blue stone.

My shopping list

Here's what I bought: for metal melting, it cost around 5500 thousand rubles; boron for polishing, it was about 7000 thousand; the bag with the powder, which was called worth a little so I did not remember, is intended for cleaning hot metal, for covering the crucible and for products, etc.

The crucible itself costs 35 rubles, it is intended for melting metal in it, it can withstand high temperatures, depending on the size it can change slightly; manual and files of different thickness, well, it's clear what it is for, it cost 500 rubles.

Then the paste, 200-300 rubles, is intended for polishing products; then I bought 5 disposables, ready to be filled with metal, they cost 100 rubles each, but then later I found 50 rubles each, the store turned out to be expensive. I also bought a stone for this form, blue, above in the photo.

Various attachments for boron polishing and cleaning machine; there was also 5,000 thousand rubles, for the burner a galosh, a holder for a crucible, I also bought it in a plastic box, which the seller advised me, its purpose was to push the hot metal into the mold with the help of your hand.

Moreover, various pliers, a couple of tweezers, well, like that’s all, of course the seller gave me something else, he turned out to be smart in this matter, I don’t remember anymore, he also said that I would need a die and much more in the future.

But these are the basic tools that will come in handy at this stage. Of course, the professionals will now say, but where is it, and where it is, but I say how it was and that with the help of this number of tools I filled it in.

Of course, I came home and quickly ran to the room prepared in advance, where the table I had already assembled was already standing, and began to put everything in its place. He did it very quickly, because there was no patience, which was shaking everything.

I connected everything, a brick, a flask, a piece of metal. I set fire to the burner and the soul trembled and began to be filled with art. Here is the long-awaited moment, the metal got hot, I pressed and…. nuu ..., disassembled the flask.

Naturally, nothing happened, it was filled in half, but there was so much happiness when I held it, I just can't retell it in words, I need to feel it. I understood that if the floor was flooded, then I almost did everything right.

On the same evening, I destroyed all the other four boxes, and there was already less happiness. After much thought and reasoning, after a long search for another option and also a large number of spoiled forms, everything worked out. It turned out that the cause of all the troubles was.

It should be of a certain consistency, but this was difficult to achieve and somewhere I heard that it is possible, or rather simply better option no at this stage, crush the metal with ordinary potatoes, which should be big size, for comfort.

On one of the days of my training in the workshop, I ruined another batch of opokas with clay and, with anger in my voice, shouted to my beloved wife to bring me a large oval potato. There was practically no hope, the last flask remained. I cut off exactly one edge of the root crop, heated the metal and applied pressure. And what was my surprise, everything worked out.

I galloped around the room, hugging my wife, and of potatoes. I even ate it later so that this happy potato was in me. And in this way, for the first time, I created a piece of jewelry with my own hands, even if it was simple and not professionally made, but for me it was not more beautiful at that time, because as you know, everything develops from simple to complex, so if something does not work out for you, never stop and everything will work out.

After a while, I learned how to pour metal with clay and a casting machine. I gradually bought the rest of the instrument, learned to weave and make more complex and more beautiful ones.

Below I want to show you some of them to stimulate you to self-study. I am very glad that I learned how to do everything myself, as it is much cheaper and practical experience mine is much more valuable.

In general, this is where I will finish my story, all success, and if you need help, please contact me with pleasure, I’ll tell you everything for free. Those who are embarrassed by the word free, arouses suspicion, then you can send money to me here on this page, I will buy food and feed the stray animals. Why do I say that?

The thing is that many people turned to me for help, who, like me, dream of learning jewelry, and their first question was how much money my help costs. When I wrote to them that I would help for free, they simply stopped asking me questions and communicating with me on this topic. I do not know why this is so, but the fact remains.

And I also wanted to say one thing, this is how I managed to make my first piece of jewelry - a ring - and it remained, it is my favorite type of jewelry. Neither chains, and even more so I do not make with such pleasure as.

Below I present photos with the products that I made and I want to say that the jewelry is very demanding for photography. There is little light or the angle is not the right one and it already looks different from live.

I also want to add that I do not consider the products presented below to be professionally made, therefore, super professionals of jewelry art, do not write in the comments how good I am and how awful it is, thank you in advance for that. That's all, Alexander Stepanov was with you, then I will also write articles about my jewelry exploits, share my experience, come to my website, express your opinion on this issue.

You will be able to create unique sets not only for each outfit, but also solve the gift problem in for their girlfriends.

After all, to paraphrase a well-known expression,

Jewelry with stones has always been very popular. And now, to the delight of the masters, there is a huge number on the market that give almost unlimited scope for creativity. It is very easy for a beginner to get lost in such a variety. Let's see what types of stone beads are.

According to our observations, needlewomen who begin to master the assembly of jewelry, first of all, take up bracelets and beads, considering the process of their creation the most understandable and easy. When asked to make earrings in a set, many say that they have recently been fond of assembling and still do not know how to make them, because it is difficult. Although earrings are perhaps one of the most simple species jewelry in terms of assembly. The main thing is to figure out what are and what bases to choose for a particular decoration. In this article, we will tell you in detail about the basics for earrings and clips: open and closed earrings, studs, caps, ear cuffs and much more. At the end of the article, recommendations are given on the choice of earring bases.

One of the most popular accessories of this season is a choker (velvet) around the neck. How to quickly and easily make a choker with your own hands, see our small video master class. We will make a velvet ribbon choker with a cameo. If desired, the cameo can be replaced with a cabochon or a ready-made pendant, and a velvet ribbon with a lace or satin one.

Bracelets, beads, necklaces, pendants - the assembly of these types of jewelry, in most cases, ends with the installation of a clasp. Novice craftswomen often have the question of which fastener to choose when creating a particular piece of jewelry. After all, there are quite a few types of fasteners. This article is dedicated to. It provides a classification of fasteners, describes in what cases and how they are used, provides photographs-examples of jewelry with different fasteners.

In this article we will talk about such types of auxiliary accessories for creating jewelry as. Why are they classified as auxiliary fittings? Because in most cases the holders can be replaced, and the screw-in pins are conventional. But the use of holders often allows you to make jewelry at a higher, professional level. The decoration will look harmonious and complete.

Novice craftswomen often have a question about what tools are needed for assembling jewelry and how to work with them correctly. This article presents a convenient table that contains the main types of tools for making jewelry with your own hands. The table shows what tools look like, what and how they are used, and what they can be replaced with. After all, it is not at all necessary to immediately buy all possible tools: some of them may not be useful to you at all, or you may not need them right away, but only with constant / professional assembly of jewelry.
We recommend that beginners, to begin with, acquire basic tools such as round nose pliers, pliers and wire cutters, and purchase advanced / specialized tools as needed.

In this article, we will tell you in detail about crimps, including cover beads, which are also often called crimps: what types of crimps are there, why and how each type is used, how to properly clamp crimps (including using a special tool for working with crimps - crimper).

In this article, we will tell you how to accurately and professionally complete a piece of jewelry assembled on several threads. When we say "threads" in the context of a multi-row decoration, we mean not the thread as such, but the inferior material on which the decoration is assembled. It can be a jewelry cable, fishing line, silk or synthetic thread, thin cord, etc.
Jewelry without clasps, such as memory wire spring bracelets or long one-piece necklaces, will not be included in the review, as their assembly usually does not pose much of a problem. We will pay attention to the creation of jewelry with clasps.

In this article we will talk about limit switches: what types of limit switches are, how and why each of the types is used. All this is illustrated with photographs of end switches and finished jewelry with them. At the end of the article, there is a convenient table showing which limit switches are used with various low materials: jewelry cable, fishing line, cords, ribbons, etc.

When creating jewelry with your own hands, to connect different elements decorations among themselves, connecting rings are regularly used. Single rings are more graceful, but double rings (similar to a miniature key ring) are more reliable, since they definitely will not unbent. For heavy jewelry and when assembling bracelets that are subject to constant rubbing against clothing, etc., as well as for children's jewelry, it is better to use double rings. But you will have to pay for this reliability: it is more difficult and longer to open double rings than single rings, while nails often break and the mood spoils. All this can be avoided by using a special one. In this article you will find a description of the process of working with this tool, as well as small video a master class prepared by the staff of our store.

Recently, decorations with dried flowers or framed images have become very popular. Most often, the top image is covered with epoxy resin or glass. But epoxy is quite toxic, and besides, working with it takes a lot of time, unlike using glass cabochons. In this mini master class, we will tell you how in just 15-20 minutes to create such a pendant with your favorite picture, photograph or flower from the herbarium:

A pin (or pin) is a piece of wire with an eyelet (loop) or decorative ending (hat, ball, droplet) on one side. This piece of fittings is used very often when assembling jewelry. In particular, the pins allow beads to be converted into pendants or connectors.
In this mini master class, specially prepared for the Stylish Thing store, using the example of creating earrings, it is shown step by step how to make a loop on a pin, as well as then how to open and close it correctly in order to connect the pin with other jewelry elements. Also, in this master class, it was demonstrated what the basic tools for assembling jewelry are used for (round-nose pliers, thin-nose pliers, wire cutters) and how to work with them.

So, your decoration is ready. Now the most pleasant thing is left - to present it or send it to the customer. Beautiful gift wrap- this is the final touch that will allow you to present your creation with dignity.
In this mini master class, specially prepared for the Stylish Thing store, we will show you how to make an elegant gift box... It is done very simply, and at the same time there is where to show creativity. Despite the size (7x7x3.5 cm), the box is quite roomy and perfect for a small piece of jewelry (earrings, bracelet, medium-sized pendant).

In this article we will talk about a very easy-to-use, but little-known in Russia base for beads with a large hole, most often used for lampwork. It allows you to easily create a variety of original pendants by combining different tube beads on a split rod. The most important plus of this base for decorating is that the pendant can be quickly disassembled and assembled by replacing one bead with another. Using materials from our store and lampwork beads, including author's ones, we suggest you collect the following pendants or key rings:

Perhaps assembling earrings is one of the easiest and most exciting things to do when creating jewelry with your own hands. The most important thing is to choose beautiful and high quality materials. When creating earrings, it is also important to pay attention to the fact that the ear wires (bases for earrings) are hypoallergenic, especially if the jewelry is created for a person with sensitive ears. The property of hypoallergenic properties is possessed by ear wires with a coating of precious metals, as well as bases for earrings made of surgical steel or niobium. Using the materials of our store, we suggest you make the following Snow Maiden earrings:

Memory wire is a hard, hardened steel wire that is initially bent into turns of a certain diameter and keeps its shape. It is thanks to this property that it got the name "memory wire" or "memory-wire". Depending on the diameter of the turns, memory wire is used for bracelets, necklaces or rings.
This article provides several examples of what types of bracelets can be made using memory wire. Of course, these are not all the options for using such a wire - the imagination of the craftswomen knows no boundaries and on the Internet you can find completely unexpected applications of this material.

When you have quality materials at hand for creating jewelry, assembling jewelry becomes like a fun constructor game. In this case, the result of such a "game" becomes stylish decoration, which is doubly pleasant to wear or give as - after all, it is made by hand and, often, is unique. Using the materials of our store, we suggest you make the following brooch:

When creating jewelry with your own hands, connecting rings are regularly used to connect different elements of decoration to each other. Most often, in order to open / close a single ring, craftswomen use two tools - thin-nose pliers and round-lips, or two pairs of thin-nose pliers. With one tool, the ring is held as with tweezers, and with the second it is bent in the desired direction. But often a lot of connecting rings are used in jewelry and the traditional way of working with them significantly slows down the work. In order to speed up the assembly of the jewelry, you can use a special tool for working with single connecting rings - a ring with slots. In this article you will find a description of the process of working with this tool, as well as a small video master class prepared by the employees of our store.

Novice craftswomen often have the question of how to complete a piece of jewelry collected on a jewelry cable or fishing line. If you attach the clasp directly to the cable, it can fray quite quickly. In addition, it looks less professional than using special limit switches. One of these end fittings are clamps to protect the cable / line from chafing. They are easy to install, look rather laconic, give the decoration a finished look and, most importantly, make the fastening of the cable to the fastener more reliable and durable. This article presents a small master class on installing protective brackets on a jewelry cable.

Recently, jewelry made using jewelry mesh sleeves has become popular. This is due to the fact that such decorations are made quite quickly, and at the same time they look unusual and effective. But people often have the question of how to complete the creation of jewelry from a jewelry mesh. Perhaps this is one of the most popular questions that visitors to the exhibition ask when they see jewelry mesh. Therefore, we decided to prepare a detailed master class.

Bracelets are always popular, but the peak of relevance is, of course, the spring-summer season. Various materials, colors, designs - there is certainly something to see here. And, of course, there is an opportunity to come up with something of your own: original and ideally suited to the wardrobe. And in order to make it easier for you to create, we have systematized in this article the main types of bracelet assembly.

Very often in the markings, as well as pins, rings and other elements of jewelry accessories made of it, the thickness is in gauge. The lower the specified value, the thicker the wire. For the convenience of our customers, in this article we provide a table comparing wire thicknesses in different measurement systems (American wire gauge (AWG), metric, British (British Imperial System of measurement)).
