Hi
to get the end smoothed, cut it on the diagonal , with the tip of the snips pointing in towards the 'stem' with fine snips then smooth it around the 'stem' with your pliers so that it tapers in. (I hope you follow that)
I hope you are using silver, as you will kick yourself soon if you make such pretty work in plated.
nice pearls and great work
cheers
Wendy
