Diane-
I'd like to make glamorous pieces with wire, silver, jewels and beads. I haven't been able to find a free site with clear instructions.

Things like this:

Answer 1

This is an easy question to answer. I have just recently started making silver and gemstone jewellery. I have not had any formal training, I have just read books on the subject and have read many articles on probably the best site around. It is called Ganoksin and is a woldwide forum and source of information and it is free to join. Take a look: http://www.ganoksin.com/

Answer 2

There are so many different ways to "make jewelry" and so many different materials to make it with, that it's hard to give an easy answer to that. Each one of those materials may be an entire field of its own too.

There's loads of stuff online that's free in all the categories, but why don't you say what type of things you'd like to make, or what type of materials you'd like to use first?

Answer 3

Try www.stonesandfindings.com under articles. They've just recently updated a list of how-to videos on jewelry making. It goes on teaching you how to do wire-wrapping to teaching you on making the entire pieces.

Answer 4

www.about.com i looked at your website there and you would have to be very talented to manage that stuff right off the bat, you are looking for wire jewelry as well as stringing beads, start small and work your way up.
