Dremel - The best jewellery multitool!We sell two options for the dremel multitool, but if you are serious about making beautiful jewellery the best option by far is the C106 dremel multitool which comes with the flexible shaft and 55 accessories. The flexible shaft is one tool you simply cant do without. It gives you fingertip control (like holding a pen rather than the bulky body of the drill) meaning it is lightweight and comfortable to use. These are excellent, high quality, robust tools and can be used for a multitude of different jobs such as detailed sanding, carving, engraving, cutting, grinding, cleaning & polishing. You can also use it to drill with either our steel drill bits or diamond coated drill bits.
Magical crimping pliers - making crimping even easier!These new pliers really are fantastic & SO easy to use (if you had trouble getting to grips with other versions of crimping pliers, these are the answer!). They form the crimp into a little round bead, so you can actually incorporate it into your design - no need to try and hide the crimp, this will actually look like a little bead. So whether your design is sterling silver or gold we have got a crimp to match your design.
