Thank you y'all. Seems like they are also called Biwa pearls. Cheers, ShashiRatna

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...

Thank you y'all for the compliments. The drape actually feels good.

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, ShashiRatna

And I forgot to add, I didn't bother to learn from my mother. :)

Hi Cathy, Thank you for the vote of confidence but I am afraid it's going to disappoint. :) My project is not one of those delicate crochet projects. My mother made me some beautiful crochet stuff which I cherish. Now you got me thinking and the wheels are turning. :) Cheers, ShashiRatna

Oh, would you guys like to see it? :) Great! I would love to show it. I have just finished the crochet part. Have to add the findings. Once complete will want you guys' opinion. I have crocheted a pearl necklace with amethyst before and the pearl didn't darken. Now, what Lady_Disdain said makes...

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 Lady_Disdain. So it looks like whether I use Silver or Argentium Silver, I am going to have the problem. Cheers.

Thank you! You have the power! :)

TYPO: The headline should read "Do silver wireS". :)

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...

I love colours too!!! :)

Hi Karin, 80 rondelles!!!! I really admire you guys who have the patience to individually wrap them. They are very nice. I make some necklaces myself - but prefer to take the easy way out. :) I have not been on this forum for a looonnng time, just decided to peep in. BTW - just wanted to tell...
