How do I choose the right jewellery tools for my project?

To choose the right jewellery making tools, you should ensure you understand your project requirements and materials. You’ll often find that a starter toolkit, including our plier and cutter sets, are just what you need for basic projects. For projects that involve metal, consider jewellery making tools such as hammers, mandrels, and soldering kits. If you’re working with beads, you should explore boards, tweezers and bead reamers.

If you’re a more advanced jewellery maker looking to create more intricate pieces, you may benefit from jewellery tools such as a bench polisher or a rolling mill. At Cooksongold, we have a vast range of jewellery-making tools designed to serve all skill levels and craft types.

What kind of jewellery making tools should a beginner use?

At Cooksongold, we know that anyone just stepping foot into jewellery making will need to be prepared with the right tools and support when getting started. That's why we have a range of jewellery tool starter kits and jewellery design stationery for those studying the art, and a range of beginners' products to ease you into the process.

We recommend beginning your jewellery making journey with simple yet essential tools. Start with a bead board to help plan your designs. A file set is beneficial for smoothing rough edges for the perfect finish. Additionally, when taking on basic wirework and jewellery assembly, you should have a pair of round-nose pliers, flat-nose pliers, and wire cutters to hand. You’re guaranteed to find the beginner jewellery making tools you need at Cooksongold. Our range is affordable and user-friendly, allowing you to experiment with techniques and gain new skills as you go.

How to care for your jewellery making tools

Your jewellery making tools will last longer and remain effective with regular cleaning and care. Essential maintenance includes keeping your jewellery tools clean and dry to avoid rust. You should always wipe your tools down after use and store them in a cool, dry place. Additionally, cutting tools and pliers should also be periodically lubricated to prevent wear and tear. It will also maintain their performance. You should also regularly sharpen any blades and polish your surfaces to protect them from corrosion and increase their longevity.

Finally, it’s important to keep your workspace clear of clutter, and keep your jewellery tools in their protective cases to avoid any accidental breakage.
