Thought we could share tips etc.

Im currently wanting to move onto rings and stud earings but i cant work them out

I've never done stud earrings either, but I guess it's just a case of finding the right findings

I found these on a quick search https://www.1topstore.com/product_info.php?language=en&currency=GBP&products_id=12502 which are the right shape, but not actual gold or silver.

lol Yeah finding the right findings is the key lol.

I guess you glue them on or something?

you could also go into glass fusing for stud earrings? microwave kiln would be the most cost effective way.

For stud earrings I'd probably use extra strength glue, crazy glue or something, to glue cabochons etc onto earring posts.

I make necklaces & earrings Out of jump rings in the right colour ATM so everything is on hold until my order comes in...

Problem.. I always impulsively buy beads etc.. and then when it comes time to do something I don't have the right parts for the job? Like I think, oh I need one more focal bead etc. How do I fix this?? lol

If you usually impulse buy 2 of everything, buy 3? lol
