One of the problems in approaching to the hobby of creating handmade jewelry is that often there are no shops close to home provided or materials are hard to find or too expensive.

These problems can overcome the various online sites that sell parts and accessories for the jewelry.
Among the advantages of on-line comes with a choice between huge amount of different materials, colors, shapes and accessories, but there are also several disadvantages, such as the inability to see a live product or shipping sometimes expensive.
I will try to tell you what I know, mine are opinions and personal experiences, I do not want to advertise on sites and I can not even suggest what the best or the cheapest, it's up to you to decide according to your needs but I hope that a small description to help you approach this type of sale.
sites that I know and whom you can talk about are the following, but if by chance you know any sites you want to talk about your experience or leave a comment below this post because I would like to become a meeting point and exchange of views useful for those who want to buy online without problems.

Crafts
Site: http://www.artigianando.net/index.php
Description: e-shop version of a real store Lodi led by Luke, you can also know through his blog . Site provided with materials of any kind, unfortunately, some products can not be run out of stock for sale for a period but this is due to the fact that a dealer is not direct but a shop, the amount of material available is always reported near the basket or however you will be notified when the absence of the product with a choice of a similar product or climb up the order total. I bought from this site I found good service, quality and kindness in recommending the type of shipping is best suited to your orders!
Fantasy craft
Site: http://www.fantasycraft.it/home.asp
Description: e-commerce site in the chain craft Fantasy. Having already discussed in the review in the journal Bijoux passion that I refer to the related post. I will simply the fact that having three physical locations in Milan, Genoa and Turin is possible for those who live near these cities closer look at the materials and maybe think about buying online at a later time.
is also possible to find components and materials on site selling handmade Etsy as , Dawanda Miss Hobby or Italian, in this case you have to go in the "Supplies" or "Materials" and search for what you need. This method is long and often uncomfortable because they are materials that are sold abroad or small quantities, but is the best method if you try hard to find items and components or parts.
I hope this long post is helpful to resolve the doubts or fears that are often bought on line, a council of all always use the secure payment methods, choose the sites that offer these payment methods and that any problem there may be a direct line to the dealer to resolve any doubts or discomfort.
waiting for your comments and your opinions I named the website or on other sites, and I wish you a good 2011 full of creativity! Hello!
Helena
