We recently got into the jewelry business, starting with the iCufflinks and soon the iNecklace! This is pretty exciting because I’ve only really done electronics design so jewelry is a completely new expertise!
However, we needed to quickly get up to speed with where to get supplies, parts, tools, etc for jewelry. Like McMaster-Carr or Digikey but for shiny things.
Luckily our friend Becky suggested checking out Rio Grande. We actually remember looking through their catalogs many years ago – these guys have been around for decades and they have pretty much everything!
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!

I can strongly recommend Metaliferous in midtown for jewelery and metalworking supplies. They even stock #63 drill bits if you break your last one drilling out a PCB. http://metalliferous.com/
You guys should also check out Stuller-

For tools I primarily use OttoFrei-

My boss also has a small bench top laser welder for sale if you need one. 🙂
