It's one of the top ideas for new start up businesses, and it's the best way of sourcing unique jewellery at a fraction of the price you find in high street stores, so if you want to make your own jewellery, where is the best place to look? Good news is most independent jewellery making suppliers source the same charms as high street stores, meaning you can most likely find the bits and pieces to reproduce any jewellery you find on the high street if you have a good look around on the web. One of the top sources is eBay, where Chinese manufacturers sell their charms in bulk. A good tip is to contact these sellers if you are looking for something in particular as most will do commissioned designs if you fancy yourself as a jewellery designer; or if you are looking to become a business you can negotiate a great wholesale price. Don't forget to purchase some grip seal bags to store your jewellery findings safely!

Another great idea, if you are looking to make jewellery unlike any other, is to source some salvaged lots of broken and odd vintage jewellery. Etsy seller Savage Attic has that covered; they regularly update their listing with a lot of great finds, and save you the effort of trawling through antiques shops.

If you're looking to make personalised jewellery you can purchase a stamping kit; think of it as a much quicker way of writing a personal message on your jewellery than engraving. You can use this kit of silver clay or any other sort of modelling clay to create jewellery made from interesting and unique materials.
Finally my favourite idea for jewellery making is to source some adorable Kawaii charms. These doughnuts are from Evez Beadz and would make a great charm bracelet or bag charm. People are very tempted by cute things, so making incredibly sweet jewellery is a great market to be in. You can also find chocolates, marshmallows, strawberries and lollypops on Etsy, so search for Kawaii for some inspiration.
