Setting up your Home Jewellery Studio: The Essential Tools List - UK Edition
With a seemingly unlimited choice of jewellery tools and gadgets to choose from it can be quite daunting to know what to buy (and what not to buy!) when first setting up your home studio.
So here I have compiled a list of all the essential tools you’ll need to get started with sawing, soldering, metal forming, filing and hand polishing, gemstone setting, and working with silver clay as well as some optional extras that are a good investment for your studio and a few starter kits that you may find useful.
