UPDATE, October 29th 2011: We are preparing to depart for Philadelphia Miniaturia.  Check the “news”  section for information on placing orders in advance to be picked up there; new items; and joining my classes – Workshop #4 – Matrix Building for Molds and #11 – Mold Making simplified.

I hope to see you there!

Welcome to our newly expanded site for JAR/JAF MINIATURES – Jewelry Findings Selected Especially for Miniaturists. We have hundreds of Jewelry Findings, beads and parts selected especially for you, the miniaturist. The Catalog uses the same parts numbers as you have known for 36 years and we have added new items such as individual plastic display boxes and small ziplock bags. We also have expanded the Lighting components area to include the smaller scales and LEDs.

Our metal findings are always of solid brass unless noted. Most are rich 22K gold plated. We are now offering some of our items in Silver plate and in simulated Rhodium plating. As you request certain parts in silver, more pieces will be added. We also have a number of pieces offered in raw brass for those who want to paint or finish their own pieces. Please contact me for pieces you may wish unplated.

Here on our website, we are pleased to offer not only our regular catalog and price list, but also use it as a way for us to share tips, news and tutorials on making your own miniature creations. You will find:

Limited or special merchandise – small amounts of new merchandise such as Ojime animal and figure beads and hand-blown Murano (Venetian) glass beads. These will be offered on a limited basis while supplies last.
Shows and Classes – of the shows and classes where JAR/JAF will have a display and selection of the catalog pieces for you to purchase and take home.
Kits – for chandeliers, room boxes and other projects (formerly under Acorns By Oak)
Tutorials – Small projects with instructions posted on the website monthly.

Be sure to visit us often to find the latest in findings and miniature designs.
