Thanks both. I wondered whether these were some kind of rivet, but the end looked too rounded.
I have just been to a bead fair *cough* so now I may have to do some experiments.

Hello all,
I'm trying to figure out how to make rings/connections that allow a bead or stone to spin freely. i've seen this in the abacus jewellery made by Danielle Miller (pearl or gold bead)...
Ha! I was thinking that none of the jam jar would do on account of the lid.
Thank you one and all. :cool:
Hello all,

That is awesome.

I am just venturing into making chains, rings and things and I'd like to lay some beginning supplies to play around with. I have a couple of textbooks which are American and use gauge sizes...
Thanks for the nice welcome. I've just picked up a wee delivery of labradorite cabochons for my first foray into stone-setting - very excited but aargh am meant to be doing my accounts. :-)
Hi, I'm Ali and I live over in wet and windy Cambridge. Have been lurking for a little while reading all the advice.
I've dabbled a bit with stringing beads and so on, but in September I started...
