I use moretti, vetrofond and/or lauscha glass for the best color assortments. What size mandrels do you use? TOP
I normally use 1/16" mandrels but will occasionally make a set with 3/32" mandrels. The size will be stated in the description. Are your beads kiln annealed? TOP
I anneal my beads using a Jen-Ken kiln with a digital controller. Annealing helps prevent stress cracks as the bead is slowly cooled down keeping the inner core the same temperature as the outside of the bead. Beads that are not annealed have been cooled to fast, over time unannealed beads will more than likely develop cracks along these stress lines. It does not mean an annealed bead is unbreakable, if dropped onto hard surfaces it will chip or crack. Please treat your lampwork beads with the same care you give any fine piece of jewelry. How do you clean your beads? TOP
I clean my beads using a Dremel with a diamond bit. Jewelry Facts TOP
I use only the best lampwork or polymer clay beads & swarovski crystals. I also use only Sterling Silver findings, nothing is plated or filled. The other items I may use are Czech glass beads and vintage lucite flowers and beads. All my bracelets are made on Beadalon Soft Flex. I do not recommend the use of the children's bracelets on children under the age of 6 - so please use care when placing jewelry on a child as the small parts can pose a choking hazard. |
