Question by Agent Hanson: How does this advertisement sound?
I typed this up for my account on Etsy.com, how does it sound? Too animated? Too “fake”? Not enough info?

I plan on sending it to my contacts on my email accounts.

“Hi, it’s Jenny. A combination of the struggling economy and the fun I have making macramé has lead me down a new path. I recently “opened shop” online selling an array of hemp jewelry: bracelets, rings and necklaces

My jewelry consists of wooden, plastic, metal and glass beads, and a wide spread of hemp-cord colors. I tend to make designs I would like to see in stores, but if there is a certain design you really want I can possibly custom make it. (Email me here or from the site.)

Thank you for your time, please check it out. (JennyDarling.etsy.com)

Question by cornucopia: Where to find cheap beads and jewelry making supplies?
I’m looking to buy a lot of beads for really cheap. I mean like 300-500 beads for like $ 2-5 or something. Cheap beads, not like real gems or anything; glass, plastic, and cheap silver parts/pendants. I’ve searched ebay and some sites but have had little luck. Anyone design jewelry and/or know of good places? Good shipping prices a plus…

Question by Naina Basu: Where in Kolkata can I learn jewellery designing?
I love to design jewellery pieces in leisure, till now I have only designed costume ones made of leather, wood and glass beads etc. Should I study jewellery designing? Is that a good career option? Where in Kolkata can I enroll?

Best answer:

Answer by Javed Ansari
Hey Naina it’s a wonderful career, those days when only options in front of youth were medicine and engineering fields are long gone. I feel now Indian youth is ready to take up new and unique careers.
There are many good jewellery designing institutes in India where you can apply. If you want one at Kolkata, then SIG or Sawansukha Institute of Gemology and Jewellery Design is one option. I have heard that it’s really excellent.

Q&A: What kind of beaded jewelry would you buy?

Question by tkern79: What kind of beaded jewelry would you buy?
I design and make beaded jewelry. While I’ve had some success with my pieces (both the gemstone and glass beaded pieces), I’m wanting to expand my hobby into an actual business. Please let me know what kinds of beaded jewelry appeal to you. I make necklaces, bracelets, rings, anklets, earrings and toe rings. The rings & toe rings are still pretty experimental, but the others have designs well underway, and I’ve made sales in those areas.

Thanks everyone!

Q&A: How do I start in learning how to create gauged jewelery?

Question by J: How do I start in learning how to create gauged jewelery?
I had some ideas for some plugs and ornate designs. I wanted to learn how to work wood, stone and horn to create them, but where do I start? I’m taking a Jewelry class at Columbia College, but it’s all metal work. While I want to be able to use that, I want to know more too. Any suggestions as to wear to start looking?

PS: Yes, I’ve seen all the links on how to build your own gauges with fimo clay. I’m not interested in wearing brightly colored clay in my ears atm.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Answer by Erich Mack
Checkout ZEN CNC mills. A good CNC mill can link up with your computer and machine your designs into the materials you mentioned. Get good with graphic design, learn how to use a mill, and before you know it you will be able to make almost any design quickly. You can even reproduce the designs and maybe make $ $ $ selling the gauges Hit me up if you have more questions!

I’ve attended a home, beaded jewelry party. What was the name of the company?

Question by brehmermom: I’ve attended a home, beaded jewelry party. What was the name of the company?
I attended a beaded jewelry party at a co-workers house and I no longer work at that job (and only associated with this person at work). Now I need to get a bracelet that I bought adjusted and do not know the company that the lady went through. The consultant showed samples of jewelry made and selections of loose beads, toggles, tubes, etc. and the attendees got tray to arrange loose beads so that we essentially could design our own jewelry, using glass beads, puter beads, and different toggles, etc. Then the consultant would write down our design, sent off the order and the company would string up the jewelry for us to our specifications, then mail the jewelry to the hostess of the party. The items were custom fit. We were told we could send back our jewelry at any time to have sizing adjustments, etc. for a fee. Does anyone work for or know of this company? How could I get in touch with them?

Question by LoveBug: What kind of clear coat should I use for polymer earrings?
I’m currently majoring in Metal and Jewelry Design and am very passionate about jewelry and making it. I really want to make polymer clay gauge earrings and have never done so before. I want to know what would be the best and safest product to use as the clear coat for the earrings and/or any other polymer jewelry pieces I may make?

Best answer:

Answer by mike1942f
The result of baking polymer clay is PVC plastic and should not require clear coat.

Q&A: Firing precious metal clay (PMC) jewelry?

Question by Char2489: Firing precious metal clay (PMC) jewelry?
I want to try making some jewelry using bronze precious metal clay. I was wondering if it’s safe to coat things like shells and lobster claws with the clay, without causing a kiln explosion. Will those fire out? I’m planning on doing some designs with molds, but on particularly complex pieces, I would rather coat them directly.
Thanks!
