Beads of your choice always make it a good selection.
Seed Beads.
Beading needles
Nylon thread.
Tigertail
crimps
callottes
Elastic thread.
Pliers (round nose and flat nose)
wire cutters
Headpins and Eyepins
Jump rings
Clasps
Cords and threads of all different types
Chain
wire a few different gauges
charms
ear wires
It depends really on what sort of jewellery you want to make this covers basic stringing necklaces and charm bracelets and earrings.

also always look for old jewellery and unusual materials that you can use as cheap beads like old buttons, fabrics and it recycles stuff that is otherwise doomed to be thrown away

Also, don't forget about storage and an efficient workspace. What you can do if you don't want beads going all over the place is lay down a towel to stop them from moving around.

A bead reamer may prove useful if you won't be working with small glass beads.
