beaded cross jewelry

I want to make my own jewelry, like beaded necklaces and bracelets with heavy crosses that have rhinestones and other pendants on them. Where can I find a good jewelry supplier catalog? Or an online supplier? And also, how would I go about pricing the pieces? Google didn't work. If you can help me out that would be awesome!

To make a beaded cross necklace, choose beads to go with the cross, string the beads, string the cross on the center of the necklace, and copy the ...

i have been looking into jewarly making i have come across so many people that have fibromyalgia and Cfs and being disabled aswell there are many professional jewarly designers that have fibro and cfs aswell so i think i will give it ago

i have had fibromyalgia for over 15 years and am only 27 years old well i will be next Sunday ah nearly 30 years old going to cry in the corner Just Jk am a Big tease!!


Well i have been trying to find something that i can do that will not cause fibromyalgia pain to flare up as am sooooo BORED do u know how i feel your sick but bored like heck!!

i have a passion for 3d/sculpting crafts/art but i have tried paper mache. salt dough. large clay modeling and i just fall on my face with so much pain!!! i have been doing this for like all my life and its killing me in pain and as a person right now so am giving it up!! i cant take it any longer..

i was really getting up set about it all as we all do its natural i hope lol




and then i saw lovely jewelry as well and making jewelry and beading has never cross my mind ever ever until i saw the wonderful things people are making u can found them on my space and now i cant stop looking at them and thinking about them they are so cute!!

i bet i sound so sad!! OK i used to make my own beads from SALT DOUGH when i was a teen and i loved making them and i even wear them all the time i bet that sounds SO sad to you all
Now i have no clue how to start and how to make them and what i need!! i haven't make jewelry ever only like over 10 years ago and that wasn't real jewelry as i used tights cut up to but them around my neck lol

I wish you much success with your endeavor. I'll pass on a few sites you might wish to explore further:

http://beadjournalproject.blogspot.com/2007/05/intro.html A blog that was begun this year 241 members, the owner has FMS and a number of other health afflictions...you may find many like minds here.

Not FMS related although some posters/readers/beaders do have the illness: http://cs.beadandbutton.com/bnbcs/tags/jewelry/default.aspx more geared towards patterns, tips, techniques etc. (Magazine avail on news stands everywhere)

This is a great support board for FM'ers including those into beading: http://www.fibrohugs.com/forum/viewtopic.php?forum=40&showtopic=3682 lots of support and friendly posters.

Another board, support for beaders, some with FMS and other illnesses as well: http://forums.bellaonline.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=postlist&Board=400

A large resource for beading, includes info on FMS beaders: http://www.wwwearables.com/techniques/beading_stitches.htm

Might I also suggest a computer program such as one of the following to set up on your computer and help you regulate breaks so that you don't get lost in the creative zone for far longer than your body can handle being there: http://www.download.com/Scirocco-Take-a-Break/3000-2350_4-10363748.html

Desk (sitting) stretches: http://www.shelterpub.com/_fitness/_desk_stretches/stretches_graphic.html (Gentle stretching is an absolute must for those with FMS)

...and a few other programs...http://reminds.qarchive.org/

As for beading and dealing with FMS...only you will know how well you will deal with this type of activity. As a creative mind who also deals with FMS among other physical issues, I too found that I had to give up some of the things I loved to do...but then I decided to learn the art of pacing...although it never really goes quite as I would like as I get involved and don't wish to stop ... it does help to make what you wish to create...a little more manageable, albeit in smaller, bite sized pieces.

Weather, stress, sleeping the wrong way, being too active, not active enough, diet etc., etc., all play roles in how we feel and how we deal...

I'd recommend taking in a local support group in your area as well if you don't already...provided that they aren't one that is a less than helpful one (i.e. lots of woe is us going on...that's not good). Also, check out Fire Mountain Gems (online) http://www.firemountaingems.com/ for lots of ideas and some decent prices on beads, findings, tools etc. Free catalog and it's large! There are also a number of other places to look just do a search and you'll locate numerous other sites to assist.

Best of luck with this...as one FM'er to another...the creative arena is a great place to be but only if not overdone.

Take care!

I am looking into starting my own jewelry business and I am looking for a reliable wholesaler that sells bulk/cheap turquoise, corral, and other gemstones. I really like the chip and nugget styles and the giant chunky beads. I am interested in the chalk turquoise too. I am also looking for some good wholesalers of pendants and blank belt buckles. I have been using large crosses and horseshoes for the pendants. Thanks!
The stones do not have to be genuine turquoise, corral etc.

you might check Fire Mountain Gems--they're very good. Zuma wasn't bad, either, though perhaps not exactly bulk. I buy my chip necklaces in a store called Precious Possessions in Chicago, but I believe they have a web presence. Also, if there are any bead shows by you (there are lists in BeadStyle & Bead & Button), go to them & check out the vendors.
(cheap is relative!)

I would suggest trying to find an alternative for coral. Coral is an endangered species, and I have seen many requests that people stop using it/buying new pieces. Fire Mountain or your local bead store should be able to give you an alternative.

The first...where can I find the clasps needed to make zipper pulls? I have tried Walmart, and Michaels...nothing. Someone said maybe a sewing store? Would a store that specialized in jewlery making carry these?

Number two...I want to start making cord necklaces(the ones that have just 1 charm like a cross or whatever, with a knot above the charm and just a thick black cord...anyway, I need to know what kind of crimp or whatever I need to be able to connect the close clasp to the end as the cords are large and the normal crimps you would use for a beaded bracelet or necklace with the hook on them are too small.

Thanks for all your help! Anyway website links would be great too! :)

try this link i am not sure it's what you want but it might help with something
