Lovely design ❤️. The bead is so pretty, I bought several to make some crafts. Do you think it would be possible for a bead to be open, though? I’d like to make a pendant out of one of the beads.
Lovely design!! When you add the patina, do you brush it on avoiding the bead or can you dip the entire pendant in the liver of sulpher? Thank you for the wonderful tutorial!
Thank you! 😊 Dipping vs brushing depends on the stone and how porous it is. The rule of thumb is stones with a harness of 6 or above on the Mohs scale can be dipped. I think shell, in theory, shouldn't be dipped - but these particular beads do have a coating on them (resin I think) so I haven't had problems dipping them! If in doubt, though, brush it on.

Your wire art is so beautiful. May I ask, do you draw out your design first or do you design as you go? Thank you so much for sharing. I've learned so much from you. 🙋🏻♀️
THANK YOU for another beautiful, inspiring tutorial. May I ask where you purchased your "large puffy bead" from? It is GORGEOUS with that oxidized copper weaving. Be blessed and well. Traci, from the U.S.A.
I got this abalone from JewelleryMaker quite a long time ago, and I don't think they've had them since. I'm looking for alternative sources, so I'm glad you found them! 😊
Thank you! Have you checked out the pendant bails video? I show this one in that too. ua-cam.com/video/O99gsTqLjjE/v-deo.html If that doesn't show what you need, let me know where you're having problems and I'll do my best to help! 🙂

I found them on Etsy....I searched "abalone bead" because I liked this one so much.

Do you sell any of these items you make in the videos other places?
I do, but not online - yet. I need to find some time to set up my online store, so watch this space! 😃
Great video! As are all of your videos!!! Thank you very much for taking the time to freely sharing your knowledge with us! :)
They're all so cool but they all have holes and I have stones without holes. Q.Q
Do you use 18 ga flat wire or round ?
Love your tutorials. But I'm a bit stuck on seeing how to do the bail. Can you help?

You are the BOSS of that wire!! Beautiful design.
Certamente 😊😊
Bellissimo, ho giusto un abalone della stessa misura e prossimamente mi metterò all'opera. Grazie.
Grazie! Sono così felice che tu abbia l'abalone perfetto! Mi piacerebbe vedere il tuo ciondolo quando sarà finito!
