Spacer Beads
To add details and variation to your jewelry, consider using spacer beads such as Silver-plated spacer - Faceted rondelle 6x4mm 5-pack.
Tools
In addition to materials, you'll also need some basic tools such as pliers (flat-nose pliers, round-nose pliers, and wire cutters) to handle and shape your jewelry smoothly.
