Creating your own jewelry can sound like a much more difficult process than it actually is. It will take some work, patience and resolve on your part to get the project through to completion. Now let's look at some of the steps to creating your own cubic zirconia jewelry.

You have to think about what you want to make. Have the idea in your mind and visualize it. This will help give you direction when you are in the process of making your jewelry. It is frustrating to be in the middle of making your jewelry and don't know the direction you need to go in. Your project is likely to be put on hold for a time.

Now you have to decide the type of materials you want to use. The stone color(s) you want and the type of metal. Gold or silver metal may be a little more expensive than you want to spend for you first effort at making jewelry. You may want to start off making your first attempts in something cheaper. Get the mistakes out of the way before you progress to the gold, silver or platinum stages. Stainless steel would be a good choice of a material to use on your first attempt to making your own cubic zirconia jewelry.

Now that you have decided on the metal you will use. We can look more closely at the piece you have chosen to make. For example, you have decided to make a pair of earrings first. How are the earrings going to look? Are they going to be stud earrings or would you like to make wires to dangle from your ears?

Now everything has been decided on, it is time to find instructions on how to make the piece exactly as you want them to look. You can find the type of instructions you need at your local craft store or you can even find them by searching the web.

Gather all the materials you will need to make your piece of jewelry. If you need to make a list. Don't start making your piece of jewelry until you have all the materials you need all together. You will hate getting to the "good part", so to speak, and have to stop because you forgot one item.

Start assembling your piece of jewelry.

After you have completed your piece of jewelry, take a look at it. You can wear it around with pride in yourself. After this project, you will probably want to do more. Necklace to match, gifts for family and friends, etc. the possibilities are endless.

Jewelry Wholesale Repair

Jewelry Wholesale Repair - If you make jewelry wholesale, then you definitely need to know how to make repairs to the jewelry that you sale. If you can offer your clients free or discounted repairs, you will find that you have better customer relations. Also, you need to have the ability to guarantee your pieces and offer free repairs for a specified period of time after the sale.

This is just good business – and it will set you apart from many of your competitors. If you’ve made the jewelry, you probably already know how to repair it. The repair that is needed is probably the simple replacement of a piece on the jewelry, such as a clasp or replacing a stone that has come lose. This type of work can usually be done quickly, and at very little expense.

If you don’t make the jewelry yourself, you still need to offer free repairs for a specified period of time. Again, this is just good business. In this case, you need to learn some jewelry repair, and you need to purchase some jewelry making or jewelry repair tools. These tools are very small, and they were specifically designed to make or repair jewelry. For the most part, these tools are very inexpensive.

One piece of equipment that you will need is a magnifying glass that stands on its own, allowing you to use both of your hands. You also need very good lighting that can be pointed directly onto the jewelry that you are repairing. Both of these are essential if you want to do a good job, and avoid eye strain at the same time.

You will need some jewelry making supplies as well, such as extra clasps, chains, and possibly even gemstones. Of course, you don’t want to keep too much of this on hand, as you may never use any of it…so use your best judgment here.

Before you rush out and purchase a book or course on jewelry making and repair, find out if the company that you order the jewelry wholesale from in the first place has any guarantees. If so, you don’t need to learn anything. Simply have your customer ship the jewelry back to you, or directly to the company, and they should take care of the repairs. 

However, follow up for your customer – don’t leave the customer to deal with the wholesale company on their own – that is bad business! If the jewelry wholesale company doesn’t treat your customer right, it will reflect on you!
