Memory-wire cutters
Memory wire cutters: Memory wire cutters are specially made to cut the super-strong steel wire that gives memory wire its name. These are the only cutters you should ever use to cut this wire. Using regular wire cutters on memory wire will destroy the cutting blades.
Polishing cloth
Polishing cloth: Metal findings can often lose their shine because of wear and tarnish, but a good polishing cloth can make your findings look brand new. Polishing cloths are about five dollars and can be used until they are totally black from removing tarnish. I prefer the cloths to polishing creams or liquids, as these can damage the porous surfaces of opals and pearls.
Suzann’s Sensational Beading Tip
If you use reading glasses, I highly recommend keeping them on hand when you are designing jewelry. Not only will you be able to see the small beads and crimps you need to make your designs, you will be able to bead longer with less eye fatigue.

Task lamp: As a jewelry maker, you will need a well-lit area where you can complete your beading projects. Eventually, you may want to invest in a task lamp. Task lamps enable you to see the true color of your beads. Take it from personal experience, there is nothing worse than thinking you are beading with black beads, only to discover they are actually purple! My favorite task lamp is one that has a magnifier attached, giving you an extra bonus.
