​DESIGNING:

​

  • Larger beads tend to pull on stringing wire allowing sections of the wire between individual beads to be seen. To avoid this, use spacer beads or bead caps or even both between the beads to cover the wire.

  • Avoid using calottes (also known as collets or knot cups) to attach clasps on heavy jewellery, instead use wire guardian to protect the wire. Collets are not sealed and tend to open under pressure. Come to our jewellery making course to learn all about findings.

  • When using toggle clasp keep in mind that when the clasp is closed it will shorten the length of the jewellery.

  • Keep silk and nylon threads in plastic bags or containers to avoid any discoloration.

  • Glue and clear nail polish stick items together and can be used to seal knots. Clear nail polish can also be used to protect color metal from fading fast.

  • You can use an awl or large needle for moving knots to where you want them, learn this skills in our jewellery making course.

 

Jewellery design tips:

ALLERGY
​

​

  • Some people may have an allergic reaction to metal, especially to nickel and cobalt. Look for hypoallergenic alternatives such as nickel free components or sterling silver.

  • Magnetic findings: Magnetic jewellery findings are not suitable for pacemaker wearers or pregnant women. They are suitable to people that have limited use of their hands.

  • We hope you enjoy our jewellery making tips. See you soon at our beading class at Darlinghurst.

 

FACE SHAPES:​

​

Oval - Most type of jewellery, dangling or hoop earrings of any shape and length

Rectangular (oblong) face: Try jewellery that add width all along and reduce the length of the face: high chokers and long necklaces, short dangling earrings or studs.

Round face: long necklaces to add length to the face; avoid too long or too broad earrings. Medium teardrops & pendants are good choices.

Heart-shaped face:short necklace or shocker will soften the sharp angle of the chin making the bottom of the face appear larger; dangling earrings or earrings wider at the bottom are a good option.

TESTIMONIAL

 

 

I saw the Enjoyable Beading class advertised on Gumtree and enquired out of interest. The prices were very low compared to some of the other jewellery making courses in Sydney and I was interested in getting to know a little more about what happens. Once I found out a little more information I decided that I would give it a go. 

 

On my first day I learnt some basic jewellery making skills and made 3 different pieces. One was a simple necklace and the other 2 were some earrings. I then went home to try and create some of these pieces myself and have been making them ever since. After that we made a range of different things such are more earrings, necklaces and even a bracelet! I looked forward to my Saturdays because I knew I would be learning something different that I would use in my everyday life. 

 

I would strongly recommend the Enjoyable Beading class to anyone that is interested in jewellery making. I have learnt so much from it and am looking forward to the shorter courses coming out soon.
