Hello,
Could somebody please tell me what kind of pearls these are. I love the lustre on them and their texture. They have this beautiful rainbow colours to boot. A hint of this pink glow. Quite iridescent. Wish I was a poet. :) Couldn't capture it on film. The icing on the cake is that I got...
Thank you for the kudos! It feels worthwhile and it means a lot.
About that wrist shot, I don't feel all that comfortable so, I do hope y'all will excuse me. :) And thank you for asking me and showing all this interest. Feels like I created a masterpiece. :) Maybe when I feel more comfortable...
Hello ladies,
After burning the midnight oil and some mishaps, I finished the bracelets. What you see are 2 bracelets, each wrapped twice. That way I can use it on either wrist and be able to mix and match with bangles.
Cheers and stay safe,

Pearl Dreams, Yes I did make a test sample using the nylon wire, but it didn't turn out exactly as I wanted but might have to do. :)
Lady Disdain, yes the nylon coated wires is not ideal but I might have to just bite the bullet and go for it. And since it's for a wrap bracelet it should be...
Thank you for the technical information.
Yes the wire fits snuggly as I am trying to crochet the pearls. And yes I used soft Argentium silver and was not aware that I needed to heat treat it. How do I heat treat it? Can I take it through a candle flame? After hearing it, do I have to wait a...
Thank you for all your responses. Now I have lot to think about. I just undid 2 wrap bracelets and cleaned all the pearls and don't think I want to do that ever again! :) And I was only wearing it for a few days! :)
Cheers.
Hello,
I used argentium silver with my pearls and I noticed black colour at the holes of the pearls. I was given to understand that argentium silver is tarnish resistant to a high degree. The wire I used is really old.
I found some old silver wire but it is already black in some places so...
