If you score in the Beginner range, start with beginner-friendly jewelry kits, basic tool sets (round-nose pliers, chain-nose pliers, flush cutters), and step-by-step video tutorials on bead stringing, crimping, and simple wire wrapping. Community classes and short skill-focused courses are also very helpful.
To improve finishing, focus on quality tools (flush cutters, fine files, polishing cloths), practice consistent filing and sanding, use tumblers or polishing compounds where appropriate, and learn patina and plating techniques. Document processes so you can reproduce a consistent finish across multiple pieces.
