Welcome!This site is dedicated to those who want to make jewelry using professional pearl and bead stringing techniques. Our teaching products are for people who want to learn the best and most professional methods of making jewelry using pearl and bead stringing. We are not for people who learn one technique, such as crimping, and stop there. Watch this one minute video to see samples of the kind of jewelry you’ll be able to make after completing our courses.
Articles and Resources
Technique is obviously foundational, but the professional pearl and bead stringer typically plays the role of counselor with clients.
Clients want to know how to store jewelry, clean jewelry and take care of jewelry. Clients also will ask questions about gemstones, pearls, designers, trends in the industry, fair trade issues and many more. The Articles and Resources section of the website is dedicated to these questions and many more including selling tips, approaching galleries and others. Not every article will be relevant for your niche, and I don’t want to suggest they are, but they should serve as a rich resource and reference and I hope you will find them valuable.
