Right lets start. You have two options to start, you can either purchase money first from your local distributor, or to find jewelry that will provide the hardware, there is a choice between 925 or 985 in the silver grade you buy, I prefer to work in fine silver 985, but you can find it a little difficult to buy. In this article we will choose the second option and purchase our equipment from a reputable jewelry and we'll start with a simple sterling silver 925 pendant with a cabochon turquoise stones.
