Thanks guys! I'll be putting in the gold order in a few weeks, so there'll be some anticipation

Update: Just heard back from Riogrande's customer service; a custom order of 26G 14kt palladium white gold round wire has a minimum order size of 65 DWT at $57.57USD/DWT. That's too rich for my blood! I only need 6 DWT, so that was a bit of a bummer.

Try Hoover and Strong. They have 14k palladium white as made to order and the minimum is 60 inches (under 2 DWT for 26 g).

Dang it! Wish I had checked them out, LD I already put an order in with rio fit regular white gold wire. Oh well!

Regular white gold will be fine..really its not like it shows up all that much. Thanks LadyD for that link..I'm not familiar with that company ..it's always good to find another source for things. I get annoyed with companies that have unrealistic min. orders. 'want this clasp??.. .you have to order 10' .... grrrr

looking forward to the final reveal !

That's a lovely clasp. Looks perfect for a delicate necklace. I look forward to seeing the finished project.
