We\u2019ll tell you about the tools you need to have to turn your ideas into exceptional pieces, provide you with some inspiration, and also a few tips and tricks to make gorgeous pieces! So, without further ado, read on to find out how to get creative with loose pearls.<\/p>\n<h1>How to Choose Your Loose Pearls<\/h1>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve set your mind on creating something with your own two hands, you\u2019ll need some loose pearls. We recommend that, at first, you stick to cheaper and lower quality loose pearls and then graduate to higher quality beauties.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pearlsonly.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/loose-pearls.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7688\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pearlsonly.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/loose-pearls.jpg?resize=300%2C187&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"loose pearls\" width=\"300\" height=\"187\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Before even opening your laptop to see the prices and start looking for loose pearls for sale, you need to learn all you can about pearls. How to spot valuable ones? What is the difference between freshwater pearls and South Sea pearls? What is the color palette of Akoya pearls and how do they compare to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pearlsonly.com.au\/black-pearls\/\">black pearls<\/a>? For more information on pearls, their value factors, history and cultivation, we recommend you read our very own <a href=\"\/..\/pearl-education.html\">pearl education section<\/a>. It\u2019s imperative you know this information, before creating anything with pearls.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pearlsonly.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/pearl-loose-pearl-white-japanese-akoya-id196849-m_d.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7691\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pearlsonly.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/pearl-loose-pearl-white-japanese-akoya-id196849-m_d.jpg?resize=300%2C277&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"loose pearls\" width=\"300\" height=\"277\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>One last thing, before making an actual purchase, make sure you study the market and get a good deal on your loose pearls. And then comes the vital question: <em>To Drill or Not to Drill<\/em>? Think about what exactly you\u2019re thinking about making. Do you want to stick pearls onto a wooden box or on a sweater? Then get undrilled pearls.\u00a0 You can find on our <a href=\"\/..\/loose-pearls\/\">real loose pearls<\/a> section a wide variety of pearls. Thinking about creating earrings, or necklaces? Then get drilled pearls! In time, you\u2019ll even be able to do the drilling yourself if this is something you\u2019d like to pursue in the long run.<\/p>\n<h1>Tools You Need<\/h1>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pearlsonly.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/tools-for-DIY-loose-pearls.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7692\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pearlsonly.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/tools-for-DIY-loose-pearls.jpg?resize=300%2C225&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"tools for loose pearls creations\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Any DIY lover knows that you simply can\u2019t make things from scratch, you need to have the right materials and especially the right tools. Here is a list of the tools you simply must have in our collection if you want to create loose pearl jewelry.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>A work bench or surface<\/strong>. You need to have a clear and sturdy place to work and create. No need to explain this one!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cleaning supplies.<\/strong> Once you\u2019ve created your piece of jewelry, you\u2019ll need to clean it in order to be sold or gifted. Various cloths and creams are available, but if you\u2019re searching for something a bit more professional, we recommend a steamer. Be careful with ultrasonic cleansers and pearls, though, they can damage the gems!<\/li>\n<li>Get yourself a<strong> pair of chain nose pliers<\/strong>, <strong>flat nose pliers<\/strong>,<strong> round nose pliers<\/strong>, and <strong>crimping pliers<\/strong>. Don\u2019t even think twice about it!<\/li>\n<li>A pair of sturdy wire cutters is something you simply need to have before getting your hands on any loose pearls.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ring mandrels.<\/strong> Want to give ring making a try? Then you will need some silver ring mounts (silver is very cheap and it\u2019s not worth going with any other type of metal) and some ring sizing and mandrels.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Soldering materials.<\/strong> If you\u2019re just beginning your journey down the DYI road, then maybe you can put off soldering for a while, but it\u2019s still a great method of creating beautiful jewels.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Thread<\/strong>. If you\u2019re planning on creating pearl necklaces, then you need good quality thread that won\u2019t damage your pearls and will be study. Silk thread is an obvious and popular choice.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Storage containers.<\/strong> Last, but definitely not least, you will need to be organized. Which means that you\u2019ll need some storage containers to keep everything tidy. Nothing kills a creative impulse like an untidy and messy work surface.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h1>Inspiration for Your Loose Pearls Creations<\/h1>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pearlsonly.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/ideas-for-loose-pearls.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7686\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pearlsonly.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/ideas-for-loose-pearls.jpg?resize=300%2C208&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"creaitive ideas for loose pearls use\" width=\"300\" height=\"208\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So, you\u2019ve gotten into the jewel\/loose pearl-making business and you don\u2019t know where to begin. You need some help? Pearls Only to the rescue! Here are three ideas that will get the ball rolling for you and make you fall in love with DYI!<\/p>\n<h2>Jewel Storage Box<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pearlsonly.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/jewel-storage-box.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7687\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pearlsonly.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/jewel-storage-box.png?resize=300%2C240&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"jewel storage box\" width=\"300\" height=\"240\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Just look at this simple, wooden storage box. It has so much potential! Dye it the color of your choice and glue some simple, pearls on the top and it\u2019s done. Or maybe, cover it in a silk fabric and then sew some loose pearls on top and on the edge. Isn\u2019t it great to have a simple, unadorned object that you can transform to your heart\u2019s desire?!<\/p>\n<h2>Pearl Earrings<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pearlsonly.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/pearl-earrings.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7690\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pearlsonly.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/pearl-earrings-300x277.jpg?resize=300%2C277&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"pearl earrings\" width=\"300\" height=\"277\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This style of pearl earring is probably the simplest and easiest type of jewelry that you can make. You only need some good glue, good pearls, and some studs. The only action you need to take is carefully glue the pearls to the studs. I mean, that is really the easiest thing you can do as a jewelry maker, thus perfect for a beginner!<\/p>\n<h2>Pearl Brooch<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pearlsonly.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/pearl-broche-using-loose-pearls.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7689\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pearlsonly.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/pearl-broche-using-loose-pearls.jpg?resize=300%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"pearl brooch\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Image source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.poppyfinch.com\/\" rel=\"external nofollow\">Poppy Finch<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Another easy and gorgeous pearl jewel that is too easy to make. Make sure the pearls you have are of similar sizes and you\u2019re good to do! With the right set of pliers you can even twist the brooch yourself. We recommend silver, it\u2019s cheap and perfect for beginners!<\/p>\n<h1>Tips and Tricks for Jewelry Makers<\/h1>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pearlsonly.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/tools-for-jewelry-makers.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7693\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pearlsonly.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/tools-for-jewelry-makers.jpg?resize=300%2C200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"tools for loose pearls creations\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Focus on one type of jewelry<\/strong>. Don\u2019t get ahead of yourself and start making too many things, because you will finish none. Take a few <a href=\"\/..\/loose-pearls\/\">loose pearls<\/a> and make a necklace. Then start work on another necklace, until you are completely satisfied with your necklaces and feel like you\u2019ve got everything mastered. It\u2019s going to take a while, so be patient!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Invest in quality tools<\/strong>. As mentioned above, having quality tools is absolutely paramount. Don\u2019t get too many, at first, a couple of pliers are enough, depending on the type of jewelry you\u2019ve decided on making. Also, if you don\u2019t want to spend big bucks on new tools, you can also go the second-hand route. Just make sure they\u2019re in good shape and they don\u2019t cost too much.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Inspiration, inspiration, inspiration<\/strong>. Don\u2019t ever stop searching for inspiration. Pinterest is a wonderful place to go and get inspired, as are various jewelry blogs and artists. Don\u2019t be afraid to look for things that will inspire you. It could be a blog, but it could very well be a movie, song, or even a friend.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Join a workshop or a class<\/strong>. You are never too old to learn new things, so join a jewelry making class or workshop. You\u2019ll not only learn the basics of jewelry making, but you\u2019ll also meet new and interesting people who share your passion and you\u2019ll get a chance to do a bit of networking that\u2019s so vital to DYI jewel makes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Have a work desk<\/strong>. Having a designated place where you can work is incredibly helpful to the creative process. This way, you\u2019ll know that you can go there and create and nothing else. Make sure to keep it clean and tidy. If you don\u2019t have lots of space, we recommend storage containers that you can store away and label.<\/p>\n<h1>What to Do with Your Creations<\/h1>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pearlsonly.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/trading-jewels-made-of-loose-pearls.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7694\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pearlsonly.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/trading-jewels-made-of-loose-pearls.jpg?resize=300%2C131&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"what to do with loose pearls\" width=\"300\" height=\"131\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The first item you\u2019ll create won\u2019t be perfect.

Try Etsy or even Facebook market and who knows, you could be looking at a successful business!<\/p>\n<h2>Sell Them at Fairs<\/h2>\n<p>The upside of selling at fairs is that you get to talk to potential clients and do a bit of networking.
