Beginners Jewelry Making

It doesn’t matter, though I would recommend not to get one with a battery but one with a power cord. In my experience the batteries just don’t provide as much power, particularly as the battery gets older. You may also want to look into flexshaft rotary tools, they are much more expensive, but give you more power and flexibility of manipulation and will be long term better (though not worth the extra cost if you don’t know whether you stick with it for a hobby).

I have only very limited experience in jewelry for stones, but I can tell you that none of the attachments which come with your dremel tool will be suitable for stone carving. I also don’t think there are many attachments which you can buy in a normal hardware store which will work for you. You’ll need diamond burs, but you probably need to go look though a place like rio grande to find a variety of those. They also need to be lubricated during carving.

Before you buy anything I would recommend to read up on the methods used. A good book is supposed to be: Lapidary Carving for Creative Jewelry by Henry Hunt.
