How to Choose Correct Beading Treads for Jewelry Designs


Beading threads are widely used in jewelry making, no matter what style of necklaces, anklets and bracelets you are making. These stringing materials are available in various materials, sizes and colors (even if white and black are the most , but not all the beading threads are suitable for all kinds of beads and findings. Therefore, you need to choose correct beading threads for your designs.

Jewelry makers and retailers see different beading threads on market, but not all of them know these threads clearly. What are beading threads? Beading threads are thin, strong fiber line used to stitch beads together in bead-weaving projects. They are stronger than sewing threads, and synthetic beading threads are best suited to bead-weaving projects because they are less prone to fraying.

Different beading threads have different strengths, flexibility and width. Choose the right beading thread for your beading design is essential. How to choose correct beading threads for designs? This is an age-old question which stumps many beginners of jewelry making as well as some more experienced jewelry makers. We all know that there are countless quality threads and cords on today’s fashion jewelry market, so that we need to know which thread is strong, and suitable for heavy beads and findings to make heavy jewelry; which thread is soft, and suitable for pearls and etc. And if you want to knot long, stone bead necklaces, nylon thread will be good choice. When you choose beading threads for your designs, you also need to consider their sizes. The thread is too small or too large will affect the final effects of your design. Some people may confused by the units of size—millimeter and gauge. About millimeter, the large the number, the large the size, and gauge is on the contrary. About choosing their colors, it depends on your jewelry design, including the combination of colors, peculiarity of jewelry beads and etc.
At last, I want to remind the beginners of jewelry making as well as some experienced designers that don’t confuse beading threads and beading cords. Beading cords are thicker than beading threads, and commonly used for stringing, knotting. No matter what kind of beading thread you need, you can easily find them on market. But I would like to say that if you want to get a wide range of selection for these threads at cheap prices, you can purchase them from reliable jewelry beads online wholesalers, just like PandaHall.com

Here are some useful tips about it. First, search them on the internet. We all know that there are countless jewelry materials wholesalers on the internet and many of them come from China. Find out several Chinese suppliers who you are interested in, and contact with them. You must contact with them before you place your orders and pay for them, because you are not familiar with them and don’t know if they can offer satisfied quality and prices to you. Read all the terms and policies on their websites, and contact them if you have any question about them, their items, prices and other things you are not clear. Keep in mind that if it is a large and reputable wholesaler of jewelry supplies, it must has a professional customer service team who will serve your warmly and professionally. Second, take part in some jewelry design shows and make some new friends. Asking for recommendation from them is a good method to find a reputable jewelry making supplies wholesaler.

How Important the Jewelry Displays for Jewelry Show


Jewelrydisplay is playing a quite important role on jewelry show cases, booth and stores. Jewelry displays are divided as necklace displays, bracelet displays, ring displays and earring displays according to their usages. All these displays are available in different sizes, colors, shapes and materials. No matter what they are, choosing a correct, suitable jewelry displays for your designs are very important and helpful.
Selling jewelry in different places or occasions should choose different jewelry displays. For example, it can be difficult if you sell jewelry as a street vendor, especially if you are working with a large inventory. You have to find a display method which is easy to transport, step up and tear down. When you sell your jewelry designs in a store, you can choose some beautiful and special displays and no need to consider if they are easy to be transported and stepped up. Well, no matter where you sell or show your designs, the displays must be attractive and organized to draw in potential customers. These displays create a setting and atmosphere for your designs that when done properly can make your jewelry designs more desirable to your potential customers. Some jewelry makers may have made a mistake when they started out selling jewelry at craft and jewelry shows that they didn’t spend a lot of time on their displays, as they thought people would buy it if they liked their designs. “How wrong I was,” they said after they realized that thought was wrong. So, don’t ever underestimate the power of a great display to give your jewelry sales a boost.
To sell your handmade jewelry art craft shows, using attractive jewelry displays may seem overwhelming. Along with high quality jewelry, having effective display is essential to your craft show success. You need to consider several factors when you have a show case. First, choose tables and shelves that allow you to display jewelry on different levels. Put the most profitable designs at eye level, where customers will see them first. Second, a good jewelry display will attract your customers’ eye but will “disappear” as background of your design when people come to see. So you can choose some fabric or other things to cover or “decorate” your displays. Third, choose a backdrop which can accentuate your jewelry design aesthetic. Fourth, don’t hang too much jewelry pieces on one displays, or else they will look too mass and hard to attract eyes. Fifth, apart from preparing above props, you also need to prepare a mirror and place it in easy-to-access spot. If people can try on your jewelry and see how it looks on them, they are more likely to buy something.

Jewelry displays are easy to buy, and you can get a wide range of selection when you search them online. Well, you can also try to make some DIY displays because sometime you may need some very special displays to show your very unique designs, or need some displays very urgently and have no time to search them from internet.

Wholesaling jewelry supplies and beads from online stores is not something new to most of jewelry makers and businessmen any more. If you still purchase large quantity jewelry making supplies and beads from retail stores, you will fall down sooner or later, because your competitors have controlled the cost successfully by wholesaling. I want to say something about this. For example, suppose you and your competitor create a same jewelry by using the same jewelry materials, and sell them at the same price. Who can earn more money? No doubt your competitor is the winner because she or he cost less to create the same design than you. Well, this is an idea competition that same designs are sold at the same price. However, the real situation must be much cruel. Let’s talk about the same design still. As we all know that people like to compare before buying. In order to get stronger competitiveness, your competitor will sell it at a lower price. No matter how low you can offer, your competitor can offer lower than yours as his cost is much lower than yours. It is so called cost competitiveness. If you find two designs are the same but sold at different prices, which one will you buy? The answer is the cheaper one absolutely. It is the answer of all the buyers too.

Eyepins and Headpins—Essential Findings for Jewelry Making

No doubt that both pins play an important role in jewelry making. A jewelry designer said:” Please don’t underestimate the importance of the eyepins. Look through my gallery and notice how often eyepins are used. Even the bangles are essentially made on an eyepin. If you are using sumptuous beads with a lot of detail, too many fancy dips and curls with the wire will overpower the eye. The quality of your work will be influenced by your ability to make good basic links such as eye pins.”
