Those particular ones were bought from a company in Germany called Wildcat, before the body piercing "boom". As you've no doubt found out Dennis, they can be picked up quite reasonably these days!

this is such a good place to keep learning!

I just use a pair of flush-cutters I picked up (around $50? $60?) from the local bead shop last year, to make the ends of my jump rings flat, and easy to join, whether or not I solder them. They're Japanese, Keiba is the brand name, and I like how they feel in my hand.

I have some VERY basic stuff for now. but it serves the purpose.

Lovely work Dennis - as always. Very pretty design.

PART TWO
I have posted this in two parts, so as to get in all my pictures.

Since completion, it has been road tested and stays in place well. Also contrary to my fears it isn’t itchy to the skin.

Sterling wire, 0.7mm.
Large jump rings 10mm, small jump rings 4.0mm.
Tubing 4.mm, CZs 3.0mm.
Fifteen double sided flowers, length of chain 1500mm. Dennis.

Thank you Theresa.

Gorgeous Dennis, some patience needed there, though I can see it would be quite therapeutic as you say!! Glad that it is wearable after all that effort and such a stunning result

Thank you Jill, but definitely no way to earn a living.
