>Any directions to look for jewelery inspiration? Haven't really been interested in it before, only seen some wooden rings on youtube an such. Any youtube channel or words to google will do.

if you search "jewelry making basics" there's overviews describing the various subcategories, and then you can look into details for the ones that look interesting.
Of those, probably the most basic and useful to build on is wire work, the techniques and principles are used in most other types of jewelry making and its very adaptable and about as complex as you want to make it even with the bare minimum tools. Thai/ Siamese jewelry use a lot of it and can be amazingly intricate and beautiful. It can also incorporate other things like beads and gemstones, see picrel.
Wire work is also good for getting a feel for metals and how to handle them, and you can use cheap/scrap stuff for practice.
Another material to considerc is leather; decorative work is almost like a hybrid of woodcarving and engraving techniques and it doesnt take a ton of tools. You can also practice on scrap or embellish existing items.
