I surfed over to Beadage.net this morning and I think this is now my favorite page to recommend for good, straight-forward beginner bead jewelry tutorials! The site is run by Emma, a website designer, so it has a very easy-to-read clean look to it. There are some great photos and graphics explaining simple things like how to make bead earrings and bracelets and even a short intro to some wire work. Beadage.net also has a great glossary of gemstones, a glossary of jewelry making terms and even a general list of supplies.

There’s also a small but growing gallery of pieces where you can submit your own work and Emma might choose to feature it! Most of the existing pieces appear to be create by Emma right now, but she really has some beautiful work.
