Essential Metal Findings for Jewelry Making

Metal findings are fundamental elements for jewelry creators, essential for both functionality and aesthetics. When selecting the right components, it's crucial to consider not only the design but also to choose metals that meet the needs of both the creator and the end user, ensuring compatibility with other materials used in the design. Our extensive assortment includes findings and finished jewelry pieces crafted from traditional metals such as silver, brass, tombak, stainless steel, and iron. We offer a variety of coatings for most findings, including yellow or rose gold, rhodium, and silver. Everyone can find the perfect option to match their style, needs, and budget. We hope the following information will make your selection easier.

Silver: one of the most accessible precious metals. Pure silver is too soft for making jewelry components, so it is alloyed with copper or other metals to create a more durable material. The 925 hallmark indicates that the alloy contains at least 92.5% pure silver. The color of silver can range from very light to dark silver, and the surface can be either shiny or matte, depending on the manufacturing technique, product size, and design.
In our collection, you'll find a wide variety of silver findings: pins, continuous chains, jump rings, and blanks for necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. We also offer different coatings such as yellow gold, rose gold, silver, and rhodium. It's important to note that silver has a tendency to tarnish easily, so it must be stored and maintained properly. Avoid using it with base metals in the same design, store it in a dry and cool place in anti-oxidation bags – these are just a few essential care tips.
All our silver products are certified by the state company "The Assay Office of Lithuania" and comply with all the legal requirements of Lithuania and the EU for trading in precious metals.

Stainless Steel: one of the strongest metals, prized for its resistance to environmental factors and chemicals. It has become extremely popular in jewelry making and various crafts. Stainless steel is scratch-resistant, deformation-resistant, and 100% recyclable, making it an ideal choice for durable, everyday jewelry that is also environmentally friendly. Its color is similar to silver, with a shiny surface that looks both solid and luxurious. This metal does not tend to darken (oxidize) and is much more affordable than precious metals, allowing for the creation of high-quality, attractive designs at a reasonable price.
Our assortment includes stainless steel earring, pendant, ring, and bracelet blanks. For added convenience, many of these are available with additional coatings: gold, rose gold, rhodium, and silver.

Brass and Tombak: a perfect blend of functionality, uniqueness, quality, and affordability. Both are alloys of copper and zinc, with tombak having a higher copper content. These metals are valued for their flexibility and strength, enabling the creation of various shapes and designs while maintaining structural integrity. Findings made from these alloys, especially those for crystals, are detailed, visually appealing, and easily adaptable.
Our range includes a wide selection of brass findings such as chains, beads, and crimp beads, as well as blanks suitable for crystals to make necklaces, bracelets, rings, earrings, sew-on components, and brooches. Most of our tombak offerings include sew-on components and cupchains. With various coating options available, you'll certainly find something suitable for any creative idea. Note that brass and tombak findings require proper care – to avoid darkening, clean and polish them periodically. The final creative results, however, are well worth the effort.

Iron: a robust metal that maintains its structure well, and various coatings can enhance its aesthetic appeal. Our assortment includes iron brooch blanks, filigree plates/ornaments, hoop earrings, and charm-style pendants. Available coatings include gold, rose gold, and silver. If you are looking for cost-effective yet durable components, these iron findings will surely meet your needs.
