Jewellery parts and accessories are critical elements of jewellery making. While technological advances are continuously changing the manufacturing landscape, jewellers also rely heavily on traditional tools of the trade.
These include jewellery findings such as clasps, ear wires, bails, bead caps, jumps, links, connectors, and cords, to name a few. Jewellers have at their disposal various types of settings and mountings in gold, silver, brass or other metals as well.
Accessories manufacturers are likewise continuously innovating, incorporating changes to design and functionality to meet the market’s more sophisticated needs. Materials are now available in various metals and colours as well as shapes and patterns. Jewellery components are expected to evolve further with the aid of technology.
