Some of the skills and jewelry making techniques used have not been fully discussed here. For beginners, we suggest that you start with a visit to our Beginners Start Here pages. These pages discuss the skills necessary for making jewelry in the detail that beginners need. We also suggest that beginners to making jewelry might need to visit all seven pages in the WigJig University College of Jewelry Techniques shown above for additional information about some of the skills and techniques shown.

Most, but not all of the jewelry supplies shown here can be purchased in our WigJig store. We try to have a complete selection of jewelry supplies in our store including chain, wire, glass beads, findings, watches, tools, etc.

The jewelry projects shown here do not use Sterling Silver. The reason for this is simple, it is harder to get good pictures of Sterling Silver wire components than with colored wire including gold-filled, copper, or brass wire. Any project shown in colored wire can be made in Sterling Silver wire.
