Jewelry Making, Beads, Jewelry Supplies, and Detailed Swarovski Library

Custom Search

This free Jewelry Making Library is for you and me. In a world where bits of information is popping up everywhere, I find it comforting to have a library I can turn to again and again. I LOVE collecting information and even more, I love to be able to find the information I need, preferably in one place, when I need it.

My name is Helena and (one of) my passions is Jewelry Making. The world of jewelry making is an Exciting and Expanding one. There is always another jewelry making technique to try and learn and master. There are always more beads, and jewellery tools, and all kinds of groovy jewelry gadgets that seem to quickly become must-haves!

Super creative professional and hobbyist artisans spring up every day and jewellery making tips and how-to's abound. It is not possible to have just one singular jewellery making authority.

This making jewelry library will house all kinds of diverse jewerlry making techniques and avenues. I will provide links, whenever possible, to related quality jewelry making sites I find.

Meanwhile let me tell you about another big love of mine - SWAROVSKI.

Yup, *Sparkle* *Bling* and *Top Elegance* gets me every time! And since I have authorized access to Swarovski's Create Your Style with SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS, I have the joy of being able to find a lot of in-depth SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS information that would otherwise be hard to get hold of.

In this Jewelry Making library site, you will be able to use my collected Swarovski Library for free. Get to really know your Swarovski because it has so much more to offer than what you would normally find around.

Jewelry Supplies - there is a huge variety of supplies for making jewelry. Every niche of jewelry making seems to call for their own specialized tools. It can be over-whelming at times and having a handy Jewelry Making Library will help make things clearer and much easier.

Jewelry Supplies are not just about beads (and oh boy is there a huge selection of jewerly making beads out there!) and jewelry findings. There are jewelry pliers for specialty uses, specialized tools and equipment, different stringing and beading threads, and even types of packages for those who are into making and selling jewellery.

So sit back, get yourself a cuppa, kick off your shoes, and enjoy your exploration:
