Everyone needs a hobby. And, while jewelry making is a way to make a living for some people (Like BC Custom Jewelry!), it can also be a great hobby to help you pass the time. But while you may be able to start stringing beads on a string without tools, if you get to more intricate jewelry, you are going to need some tools.

Wire Cutters

Probably one of the most important jewelry making tools, wire cutters will aid in cutting stringing wire, eyepins and headpins. What you do not want to use wire cutters on is memory wire, because it will wreck the cutting edges of your tool, rendering it less useful or even useless. There are actual memory wire cutters.

Round Nose Pliers

Do you need to add loops or other rounded parts to your wire? Round nose pliers is the perfect tool.

Flat Nose Pliers

Having trouble getting a good grip on the wire that you're working with? Flat nosed pliers have the pointy tip that easily holds wire for you as you're creating your masterpieces.

Take a look around! You will probably find at least one of these tools sitting in a tool it or toolbox somewhere in the house.
