  Making your own jewelry is a worthwhile craft to learn. Not only can it provide an interesting hobby, but it can also save you money when you know all the techniques and have the tools to create the kind of jewelry you would buyin a jewelry store. The most important tools for creating metal jewelry are ones which bend the metal stylishly and efficiently and those that help thread the beads or whatever you plan to dress the metal with.
  
  

Flush Cutters

• You'll initially need to cut your metal down to a workable size before you attempt to create shapes or patterns. A good quality pair of flush cutters will scythe through wire metal with minimum fuss and leave a clean, straight cut so you can easily continue working with that metal.
  
  

Chain Nose Pliers

• When you get to the stage of your jewelry creation where intricacy is required, you will need a pair of chain nose pliers. These pliers have a nose which tapers to a very fine point, so it is possible to make precise cuts in your metal, even if you need to get into a very small area to make the cut.
  
  

Round Nose Pliers

• Round nose pliers are another form of pliers that are essential when it comes to creating elaborate patterns with metal. The round nose pliers allow the jewelry creator to create loops in the metal. It is important to buy a good quality pair of these, as it is one of the most common tools you use when creating jewelry with metal.
  
  

Bead Stringing Materials

• There is no one definitive form of bead stringing material. There are many different types, styles and manufacturers, but generally they will all do a similar job. Bead stringing material allows you to attach beads or stones (if they have been prepared by drilling a small hole) to the main metal structure of your jewelry. The more expensive materials are almost invisible to the naked eye so do not detract from the visual effect of your jewelry.
  
  

Jump Rings

• Jump rings are used to connect different parts of the jewelry together. If you are creating jewelry simply with one piece of metal, then these are not necessary, but more often than not, a piece of jewelry will involve more than one piece joined together using jump rings.
