Starting off

[Waterlily]

I'd like to buy my son's girlfriend some jewellery making stuff to start her off. I've never made any jewellery but in a mad moment I did buy the tools so I don't have to worry about them as I'll give them to her.

She loves earrings (danglies), silver and pink so I thought that would be where I start. Any suggestion for the best place to look to buy please. I did watch the jewellery making channel? this morning and I've looked on their website but didn't see anything suitable.

Hi Waterlily. Sorry I can't help but I too would be interested if anyone knows of a good starter kit as I want to buy one for my friend for Christmas.

That young woman who comes on with the beautiful Tiara's has gorgeous crystals and different coloured findings - like gunmetal/silver/gold/antique. Think its BD-I Tiara Pam if that's any help Of course there's Beader Comp and the ones that Mel brings (sorry cant remember the name!).

If you type "jewellery making kits" in Folksy or Etsy (shop local option, for UK only), there are quite a few options.
