Store Ratings and Customer Reviews Really Matters
-
First, contact the shop owner through email or start a voice chat by dropping a call to test their response speed. If the call cost is a little high, then try to find if they have a Skype and other free live chat account available. Ask some general questions related to the items you’re intended to buy and also express your concerns about the negative feedbacks to see if they can give a reasonable explanation. Try first by yourself, your decision is up to you not anyone else. If you think their service is OK and the quality is within your acceptable range. Why not give it a try?
-
If you still can make your final decision, try to find its affiliated shops, facebook page, blogs and other kinds of social media site. Read the comments, reviews and feedbacks on those sites; and see if they’re active or not. If they’re sensitive with the negative reviews and have made efforts to try to solve them, then the store is somehow reliable. And if they just neglect the bad comments on their page, then please be cautious.

Tips for Buying Men's Fashion Cufflinks
-
Sterling silver: Sterling silver cufflinks are now very common, since it’s affordable and has a very shinning mental luster. Compared with platinum and white gold, sterling silver suits every budget. Many will worry about the oxidation problem of sterling silver products, but now silver cleaning cloth can help solve this problem very quickly. And if being well cared for, sterling silver jewelry, as cufflinks will last a lifetime.
-
Silver plated Alloy: Silver plated Alloy could be a good choice if the budget is tight. But when purchasing alloy products, special attention should be given to harmful metal element which may be added to the alloy. Contact the seller and make it clear whether the alloy cufflinks is safe or not, and you’d better ask s/he to show you the test report. Silver-plated alloy products have the same precious metal luster as sterling silver products, while which hasn’t the price.
-
Stainless steel: Stainless elements have gained unprecedented popularity in men’s jewelry. It is the most affordable material to make jewelry and can be molded into any shape as we want. And if you want to catch more eyeballs, avoid being conservative: Look for stainless steel cufflinks in novelty shapes such as skulls, animals, and peace signs.

Tips for Buying Jewelry Making Supplies
-
To begin, buy some cords or wires. Stringing material is the basis for a jewelry piece which could be worn by us. To make a necklaces or bracelets, you may want using elastic cording or flexible wire as jewelry supplies. Besides jewelry cord and beading wires, silver tone or gold tone chains are also very essential jewelry-making supplies. The chains with loops allow us to add or remove dangle pendants freely.For beginners, we often have no idea as what are needed to finish a full jewelry set. If you’re in this case, then buying jewelry-making kits that include all beads, clasps, cording and jewelry making findings to save time and money. Once we’ve entered this jewelry making fairy land, buying some jewelry making magazines to learn how to make jewelry, especially some complex design should be more fun.
- Purchase some beads and spacers as you like. Chain necklace and cord bracelet piece, though, are very beautiful, while if we can add some special and unique pendants or beads to them, guess the jewelry piece will become much more pretty. Thus, when we already have some beautiful chains as string material, we can try to buy some pendants, beads charms as embellishments that fit your style.
-
Shop for unique designed clasps, hooks and studs. Jewelry making trend has never stopped changing, novel and chic design continues surging up. So never be trapped by the stereotype which already exist in the fashion world, just try the best to break the normal practice and normal design, and create something new. When different kinds of findings come together, jewelry pieces of unique flavor.
-
Be ready with scissors, pliers, wire cutters and other tools. To make beaded jewelry, especially delicate necklaces and earrings, it's important to have the right tools then we can cut excess wire off, remove extra links or broken clasps and bend wire into the shapes we want. Quality scissors and wire cutters are essential, but tweezers, pliers and other similar tools will help smooth our work, a set of handy tools can make picking up beads, beading supplies and other jewelry findings a breeze.

And when we want to paste the little flatback rhinestones into indentations, then we need to drip a small drop of glue into the notch. The amount of glue should not be too much or too little, it’s really a tough task to control.
Wholesale loose rhinestones are not popular among small business owners, because the wholesale quantity is too big for them and they don’t need so many loose rhinestones for their own projects. However, the retail price of loose rhinestones is much higher than their wholesale price.

Lampwork glass beads have entered in many jewelry artisans’ beads storage box, been added into many bracelet and bracelet design project, and even been molded into ready to use flower lampwork pendants.
