If you make your own jewelry, the findings are the part that quietly makes or breaks the whole piece. The clasps, the ear wires, the jump rings, the connectors, nobody really notices them until one snaps or the clasp gives out, and then it is your name on the piece that takes the hit.
So, for a maker or a brand in the USA working in brass, the findings supplier matters more than people give it credit for. The brass has to be consistent, the gauge right, the finish even, batch after batch. And there is the nickel side too, since a lot of these sit against the skin.
The trouble is, there are a lot of suppliers out there, and the quality is all over the place. So sorting the ones worth ordering from is half the job.
Here we have compiled a list of the top 10 brass jewelry findings manufacturers in the USA.
So, let's get started.
JewelPin is the first name on this list, though it works a bit differently from a straight-find house.
Where most names here sell you the loose components, JewelPin they do the finished brass jewelry and the custom side, so it suits a maker or a brand that would rather get the whole piece made than build it up from parts. They have a ready-to-ship brass collection you can order in bulk, and if you have your own design, they manufacture the custom pieces too in their own unit.
The brass is handled in-house, so the finish stays the same from batch to batch, which is the thing that matters when you are putting your name on the piece. So, if you want finished brass jewelry or custom work rather than just the findings, then JewelPin is the one to start this list with.
JBB Findings, this one is a proper findings house, going for over 35 years, and they manufacture and cast the components.
Their brass findings cover the ear wires, the leverbacks, the bezel settings, the decorative kinds of parts, and they are known for the innovative designs more than the plain stock. The casting is their thing, so the pieces have more detail in them than a basic stamped finding. So, if you want brass findings with a bit of design to them and not just the functional parts, then JBB Findings is one to look at.
Here are the two entries rewritten to sit in your voice.
JK Findings has been around since 1975, and they make most of what they sell at their own plant in Rochester, New York, somewhere over 70 percent of it.
They do the precious metals too, the gold, the gold-filled, the silver, so the brass gets made in a shop that works with metal all day. They run the CNC machines, the lathes, and the mills, so the parts come out the same from one batch to the next. Got your own design, they make the custom pieces too, and they add an anti-tarnish coat so the brass does not go dull on the shelf. So, if you want a maker that runs its own machines and keeps the parts consistent, then JK Findings is a solid one to have on this list.
Tercat Tool & Die goes back the furthest here, started in 1941 in Providence, Rhode Island, and they came up as a stamping shop for the jewelry trade.
So stamping is their thing. They make the blanks and the struck parts in brass, copper, nickel silver, the flat shapes you build a piece on top of. Small run or a big production order, they do both. They still carry the old Coro stampings from the 30s and 40s in their line. So, if your work needs stamped brass blanks and shapes more than the clasps and ear wires, then Tercat is the place for that.
Snow Findings is one of the old Rhode Island names, running since 1951, started by William Snow out of his garage in Cranston, and now down to the third generation of the family.
Most of what they make is brass, the stampings mainly, and they push out somewhere between one and a half and two million pieces a year, so they are set up for the volume side of things. Once the brass is made, they send it out to other Rhode Island shops for the plating. They have been picking up other findings houses too over the years, took over Eastern Findings a couple of years back, which threw something like twenty thousand more items into their line. So, if you want a brass stamping house that has been at it for decades and can take a big order, then Snow Findings is one to put down on the list.
Garlan Chain comes at it from the chain side, a family shop up in North Attleboro, Massachusetts, going since 1967.
Chain is what they are known for, but they make the brass findings too, the spring rings, the lobster claws, the jump rings, the head pins, and the small bits that hook a piece together. The brass they run on is a rich-low alloy, 85 percent copper and the rest zinc, so it carries a warmer color to it. They will sell you the chain by the foot or cut it and put it together the way you want. So, if you need the brass findings and the chain to match them out of one place, then Garlan is worth a call.
John F. Allen has been in the trade longer than anyone else on this list, since 1889, so that is well over a hundred years of selling beads, findings, and components.
Now they sit more on the stock side than the maker side, so what you get here is the raw brass findings ready to go, the kind you plate yourself or leave as is if you are after that older antique look. Their raw brass chain comes on spools, so you cut off what you need. They hold a huge spread of stock, tens of thousands of items across all the lines, a lot of it vintage, and the hard-to-find bits that other places ran out of years ago. So, if you want raw brass to finish your own way and a deep shelf to dig through, then John F. Allen is hard to beat for that.
Rings and Things is more of a supply shop than a maker. You go there when you want a bit of everything and not a whole crate of the one thing.
The findings they carry are US-made, a lot of them, the clasps, the ear wires, the charms, the blanks, and the raw brass have that warm gold tone the handmade crowd goes for. Wholesale prices, and it ships quickly. So, if you run a small line and just want US-made brass bits in normal amounts, then Rings and Things will sort you out.
Guyot Brothers, up in Attleboro, Massachusetts, has been making decorative brass findings since 1904, and it is the fourth generation of the family running it now.
Their thing is the decorative side, the brass charms, the stamped filigree, the fancier parts rather than the plain clasps, and they hold thousands of these in raw brass sold in bulk. So, if you want decorative brass stampings with a bit of detail on them, then Guyot Brothers has you covered.
Salvadore Tool and Findings is the last name here, a Providence shop that has been stamping since 1945, and they say they are the biggest stamper in the whole country.
Now the interesting bit, some of their dies go back to the 1890s, so a lot of the brass stampings still carry that old tooling you do not really see anymore. They have done work for big names, too, Marc Jacobs being one of them. So, if you want stamped brass with some proper age behind it, then Salvadore is a good one to finish the list on.
So that is the ten. Here is the thing, though, none of them do the exact same job. A few are pure stampers. Some just hand you the raw brass and leave you to finish it yourself. JewelPin sits on the other end, the finished pieces and the custom work. So before you order, get clear on what you actually need first, the loose parts or the whole piece, then go with the name that fits. If it is finished brass jewelry or custom work you are after, come have a look through the JewelPin brass collection and get in touch.
