I just finished the first piece, using one of my PMC beads. The squiggly/syringed bead, with a simulated peridot in it. The stone darkened and browned up, which really made it hard to find beads that would work well in. I used Swarovski Lt Montana Topaz satin with it. I really like it with silver. Much warmer than the usual clear crystal used with (oxydized) silver. To that I added Bali from Karen and Marilee (She's great to work with). And some silver rounds. I have matching earring, but will need more
6mm crystals to make the bracelets.I prefer using little barrel clasps, but most others don't prefer them. And I put lobsters on a necklace I made with beads from MothWoman, but found them to be so stiff it stresses the necklace. I have become a toggle fan. If only I could find them in gold-filled.
