Handmade Earrings: the Accessories to Get Started

To make handmade earrings, you only need a few accessories: jump rings and hoops to attach the components, hooks and posts for the finishing touch, and a few charms to personalize each pair. If you also need the right tools — pliers, cutters and tweezers — you'll find everything in the jewelry making tools section. To add an extra detail to every creation, take a look at our charms too.

Necklaces and Bracelets: Assembling, Spacing and Closing

For necklaces and bracelets, jewelry making accessories work together with wire and beads: spacers set the rhythm of the design, bases to cover become personalized pendants, and clasps finish the piece securely. If you still need to choose the right wire to assemble your creation, you'll find all the options in the jewelry wire section.

Buying Guide

With so many different accessories, it's not always easy to know where to start. Here are a few practical tips.

Making Earrings: Where Do I Start?

Start with hooks and posts or with jump rings and hoops, depending on the style you want: hooks give you an instant dangling earring, while jump rings are the base for adding charms and beads. Finish with headpins and crimp beads to secure every element precisely.

Making a Necklace or Bracelet: What Do I Need?

Besides crystals and beads, you'll need clasps and snap hooks for the finishing closure and spacers to give rhythm to the design.

I Want to Personalize a Pendant: Which Accessory Should I Choose?

Bases to cover are designed exactly for this: you can cover them with fabric, thread or small beads and turn them into a one-of-a-kind pendant, to pair with jewelry wire.

Frequently Asked Questions About Jewelry Making Accessories

What's the difference between jump rings and hoops?

Jump rings are small rings that open and close, used to connect two components — for example, a charm to a chain. Larger hoops, on the other hand, can become the base of an earring or pendant, or be used to assemble several elements together.

How do you use bases to cover?

You apply fabric, thread or small beads onto the base, securing them with glue or weaving techniques, to create a fully personalized pendant or earring. They're perfect for one-of-a-kind, made-to-measure projects.

What's the difference between earring hooks and posts?

The hook is the finding that goes through the earlobe. Posts, on the other hand, are used to thread beads and charms before attaching everything to the hook or other findings: they work together to complete the earring.

Are spacers compatible with all types of wire?

Jewelry spacers have a hole designed for the most common types of jewelry wire. Always check the hole diameter against the wire you want to use: for thinner wires, you can also pass the wire through twice.

Can headpins and crimp beads be reused?

Headpins, once bent to secure a component, are usually cut and not reused. Crimp beads, on the other hand, can be opened with pliers and repositioned, although for a flawless finish it's best to always use a new one.
