  1. It depends on what kin d of jewellery you want to make?

    Ear rings ? If so you need ear wires, beads and head pins that you thread the beads onto. Plus a good pair of round nose pliers for needing loops into the head wire to attach it to the ear wires( shepherds crooks etc?)And also wire cutters.

    For necklaces you Will need beads, wire/stringing thread and fasteners, as well as round nose pliers and wire cutters.

    That is just for starters.

  2. i have a friend who studies silver smithing at college, maybe you should look into a similar course

  3. Go to one of those craft stores, Michaels, Joann's, Hobby Lobby and ask them.  They have aisles of all the stuff you need.  They may even sell beginners kits.
