I’m rather new to making jewelry, and I’ve been having some difficulty with connector pendants that are flat backed. It seems when chain is attached to the sides to form the necklace (as opposed to hanging from the middle, like in a traditional pendant), the pendant often flips over during wear, so that it is upside down or backwards.

Does anyone know how to keep this from happening? (I hope I explained it clearly). It probably has something to do with weight distribution, but I was trying to keep it simple.

I need help with buying things for jewelry making? What are these called?

I have a bit of spare time on my hands and thought i’d take up making jewelry. I just need to know, what things do you need?
Wire - is it just called wire if i ask for it?
What are the little metal pieces called to secure the loop on the end of wire when you put the clasp on?
And are the clasps just..clasps or is there another name?
what else would i need, besides beads/pendants.

Thanks :)

What is a good website that sells charms and pendants for jewelry making?
