Jewelry-Making Tools

Make polymer clay beads and jewelry

Specialized jewelry-making tools help makers create consistent beads, hollow shapes, pendants and other polymer clay components. The tools support different stages of the process, from shaping and piercing the clay to adding details and baking the beads safely.

Create round and hollow beads

A bead maker helps produce evenly rounded beads in consistent sizes. This is useful for necklaces, bracelets and earrings where several beads need to match visually. A hollow bead maker creates lightweight hollow forms for larger beads and statement jewelry without using an unnecessary amount of polymer clay.

Pierce, decorate and bake clay beads

Etch ’n Pearl tools can be used to pierce beads before baking and to add lines, patterns and concave details. Different tool sizes support both small and larger beads. A bead baking rack suspends pierced beads above the baking surface, helping them retain their rounded shape and reducing flat spots.

Sculpey tools for the complete jewelry-making process

The collection includes individual tools and complete sets from Sculpey. Makers can add one specific tool or combine several products for a complete bead-making workflow.
