So, i made my first bracelet. A simple 4mm Tiger's eye and onyx beads, attached using bead stringing wire.
I've only been wearing it for a few weeks, but I notice now that some of the Tiger's eye beads have chipped on the insides due to friction of rubbing against one another. It isn't very noticeable, but well, I noticed :)
The beads aren't tight, there was a space of approximately of one bead left when I made it, and it's maybe 1.5 now.
Would they continue wearing down? Is there a way of preventing this from happening? Like maybe tiny rubber spacers? Or is this just normal wear that one must accept?
The reason I ask is that i plan on making a few more with 8mm beads soon.
