Here’s a list of the jewelry tool suppliers I use to source the tools, materials and supplies I discuss in my instruction:
Under each supplier I list the items I purchase from them to help you shop efficiently.
You are more than welcome to source your items elsewhere. My goal is not to become a supplier, I just want to be sure you can find the tools, etc. I discuss with ease. I do not have affiliate accounts with these suppliers. However, my local suppliers offer a discount to my students on tools, so I want to share that with you.
