The Element of Supplies

So you’ve seen all kinds of jewelry posts from me, but you may be wondering…what about the “supplies” part of Markalino Jewelry and Supplies?  Well, that may because I do focus mainly on jewelry, but I figured that I should give supplies their day in the sun.

Beads and Supplies are detrimental to a jewelry artist’s next creation.  Just seeing certain supplies can spark an idea for the next great piece!  As many of us jewelry artists are aware, shopping for beads and supplies can become habit forming, especially when they can be found at a reasonable price.  That’s one thing that I stand behind is providing beautiful jewelry making supplies while still keeping the price reasonable.  After all, handmade jewelry is priced partially according how much the materials cost the artist and if the supplies are too high a price, it drives up the price of the jewelry.

Here are some of the supplies I have available at Markalino Supplies on Etsy!
