The 10 Best Jewelry Findings Sets
This wiki has been updated 20 times since it was first published in July of 2020. Whether you want to repair your existing pieces or create beautiful new ones, you'll probably need some jewelers' findings. Jump rings, hooks, and clasps are rarely the prettiest parts of an item, but they're often the most important. Along with a basic variety of closures and connectors, these kits sometimes include small tools and spools of beading wire for making jewelry. When users buy our independently chosen editorial selections, we may earn commissions to help fund the Wiki.

Editor's Notes
September 08, 2020:
Crafting your own jewelry is a fun creative outlet that can also turn into a source of income. On this list, we prioritized sets with multiple varieties of components for making many types of jewelry, including earrings, bracelets, and necklaces. Jump rings are the most important pieces, as they are essential for almost every kind of accessory. Earrings require a few special parts, such as posts and backs, whereas bracelets, anklets, and necklaces all use similar pieces.
Most sets contain a good mix of everything, particularly the Paxcoo 1000 and the Kuuqa Starter Kit 01. However, two options are weighted more heavily towards making earrings, the Lanmok 2410 and the Yugdruzy 2004. If you are looking for a kit with a larger percentage of parts for stringing accessories, such as pendants and wristlets, check out the Alritz 1500 or the Supla Jump Rings.
Although the PH PandaHall 112 contains only toggle clasps, it's included on our list because of the artistry of the pieces, which can add to the beauty of your creations. The PP Opount OP-0068 and Kuuqa Starter Kit 01 feature rolls of wire, cord, and string that beginners may find particularly useful. For a great color selection, the Yugdruzy 2004 and Paxcoo 1000 offer some the largest varieties in a single kit.
Because many of these sets are for amateur artisans who are trying out different styles, they often include beginner-friendly tools like wire cutters, pliers, and beading wire. However, if you're looking for a top-quality pair of pliers, you're better off purchasing it separately, since most of the ones included in the kits aren't going to stand up to years of use. For those who want a package that also includes beads, check out our list of the best jewelry making kits.
