Many different materials and techniques are used in handmade jewelry. This leads to great variety in the types of pieces that are available. This is fabulous, because everyone can find something to suit her/his own taste.
Here are a few jewelry-making techniques that I personally don’t know.

It's amazing seeing all the different, complicated techniques that people use to make jewellery - I'm in awe of people who do beadweaving; I'd never have the patience for all those tiny beads!
What a wide and wonderful spectrum jewelry making covers. These are gorgeous pieces by some very talented artists.
What a super theme. I agree, Nicole. great to see those different ways to make jewelry on one page. I have to admit apart from chainmailling I can't do the other techniques either *g, btw beautiful examples.
I love this perspective on all the various mediums - metal clay was the only one I ticked off - chain maille is next on my list.
There is so much I don't know and I admire everyone who can do it.
There are things I would still like to try, but then again - isn't it great that there are so many different talents out there?
What an eclectic collection of techniques from such talented artists! I also have to admit that I can't do any of these techniques besides beadwork, but I've always admired those who can and do!
