Jewelry Supplies

Here's some of my fave sites for jewelry supplies, wire, beads, etc. They'll help to feed your jewelry making need...


Parawire

Enameled copper wire in every color of the rainbow, brass wire, plain copper wire and gold plated wire. They also have a limited amount of jewelry tools. I get a lot of my non-precious metal wire from these friendly folks.

Got wire? These amazing people do! Just about every kind - sterling silver, gold-filled, titanium, stainless steel, bronze and even rose gold-filled. They also offer pre-cut jump rings, tools, books, scales (the kind you use in scale maille) and rubber rings. For those U.S. citizens out there, please keep in mind that this is a Canadian company and the wire they sell above 20 gauge is SWG (or Standard Wire Gauge - a British gauge system). Everything 20 gauge and below is AWG (American Wire Gauge). It's confusing, and even they admit it, so you'll have to take that into account when ordering wire and jump rings from them. It's easier if you memorize the decimal inch sizes of the wire gauges. They post this and will help somewhat in keeping you less confused. Once you've gotten used to it, it gets easier. Rock bottom prices are what keep me coming back, confusing or not.

They also sell fine silver wire, which is great for making your own head pins if you happen to own a small butane torch.
