DIY Jewellery Techniques

There are many different jewellery making techniques. We have chosen some of the best known and used to explain their concept.

Beadweaving

Beadweaving is a way to make jewellery using only needle, thread and seed beads (such as Delica and Rocailles). Peyote, in its even and odd variants, Herringbone and Brick Stich are among the best known techniques of beadweaving. They allow you to create very fine and precise pieces of jewellery.

Embroidery

Embroidery is one of the most ancient jewellery making techniques. It is the process of forming decorative designs on different kind of materials, and it can be done with hands or machines. Seed beads and cabochons are commonly used in embroidery works, but other sewing items, such as Shibori Silk, are perfect to enrich jewels.

Soutache

This technique was born in Russia, at the time of the tsars. Its application in handmade jewellery consists in working Soutache braid with different items, such as cabochons, pearls and beads. Soutache works can be very elegant and sophisticated, both simple and complex.

Macramé

Macramé is the art of creating jewellery by knotting threads or cords in patterns. Commonly used materials are waxed polyester cord, satin rattail cord and cotton thread. Very different results can be obtained by changing the thickness or type of material used. The works carried out using the macramé technique can be facilitated by the use of specific tools, such as the table and pins.

Kumihimo

Kumihimo is a traditional Japanese braiding technique, based on the use of disks, round or square shaped, that allow you to create wonderful patterns. There is a specific braid for Kumihimo, but original creations can be made using other kind of threads or even beads.

Climbing Rope

Climbing Rope Jewellery is an entirely new branch of jewellery making. It is based on the use of climbing cord, a product well-known in extreme sports. This technique is now a trend, and new components have been produced since its diffusion. Elements in metal or ceramic can now enrich a Climbing Rope work, creating casual and stylish pieces of jewellery.
