| I recently converted over to silk from using beading wire for my necklaces. They hang so much nicer on the silk and I have had problems with the crimps not holding. Now I have a new problem. I must use #2 in thickness with my keishis as the holes are so small, but when I add larger stones the thread is breaking. The faceted stones are literally cutting through the thread within about 4 hours of wear.
I don't want to go back to wire or flexiwire. Any ideas? Are the non-silk threads strong enough to hold up to the faceted stones?
