Jewelry Making

When silver cheap type jewelry gets tarnished and chipped or brown looking and ugly I wonder if there is a way to dip it in something to make it look new again. I remember seeing something like that a while ago but I don’t remember what it is. Obviously real silver can just be polished but it doesn’t work with this other stuff.

I’m keeping my bits and pieces separated and labeled.
Can I melt them back down on my stove at home for re-casting?
What can I do to guarantee to future customers that my re-cast metals are genuine?
Are there any recycling facilities I can send my bits to?
Any charities that make use of precious metal scraps?
Any other suggestions to do with my collected bits?

Stupid question? Probably … lol

I just took an interest in this and bought a few bits and peices, I have the wires and some clasps and jump rings and earring hooks etc but I cannot figure out if the vital missing peice is crimps?

When , for example I thread an earring I am knotting the end or the wire so the beads dont fall off and then when I get to the top, what do I? I cant tie a knot to the earring hook it look ugly…

I need something so I can loop the wire through the earring hook and then put the clamp thing around the two pieces and squeeze them together… so I dont need to tie a knot…

Gees for something so simple I hope Im not confusing you too much - I know exactly what I mean and I thought it was crimps that I needed but on Ebay most say crimp/spacers instead of just crimp… are crimp and spacers the same thing? I didnt think they were… now I dont know if It was crimps I was after…

What do I need?

Thanks & sorry its so confusing!!!

The things seem to work well, if I the computer, on my knees, but it is quite with difficulty, if I something from the Nähe work. Also should I such a thing like weià Ÿ it sheet at the point, so that the things more clearly?

Hello, I'm an avid beader who has to buy branelli. I now have thousands and I have reflected the idea of a club bordante. For a reasonable fee members would receive a nice supply of good quaility of branelli every month. He could be a commitment of 3, 6 or 12 months. Possibly one month of free branelli if a member convince a friend to join. So who'd love a surprise package every month and certain other beaders to also enjoy this. The biggest challenge is starting on a small budget.

I want to start making my own glass beads and pendants, I’d also like to like to know where I can find good info. on how to make other jewelry, like rings and pendants, etc. with metal. I already have a good understanding of beading, although I always learn something new. Where can I find this information? I’ve tried using a search engine, but most of those sites aren’t helpful. I can’t take a class at a local bead shop because with school, I don’t have time. Any suggestions/help is greatly appreciated.
