[@mariabooth8104]

Great necklace. Will make a few this weekend. Thank you ladies for sharing. I love your videos.

[@TheONeilSisters]

Thanks Maria! J&K

[@viviandibrell849]

I made something similar in the past but the crimp tubes all got black from tarnish because they were silver. Be careful about this. Necklace is beautiful thank you for your great instructions.

[@TheONeilSisters]

Great tip Vivian. We like to use silver or silver-plate but it's terrible when you have so many little crimps to have them tarnish. Have you ever tried baking soda and aluminum foil to untarnish silver? It works great for jewelry with dozens of tiny silver beads or crimps you wouldn't want to polish by hand. Here's a video from HGTV kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2PQlqmibMpkiJo Let us know if you try it and how you like it! J&K

[@vimpihyd]

have done usingf gear wires for gifting purpose.how to pack these beauties for gifting purpose? any clues or tips

[@TheONeilSisters]

+vimpihyd We like to lay the necklace in a flat necklace box. We buy special boxes on Etsy. What do you like to do? J&K

[@vimpihyd]

is the beading wire same as gear ? tiger tail wire.ur piece looks awesome

[@TheONeilSisters]

+vimpihyd Tigertail is a brand name of bead stringing wire. It would work for this necklace. It is stronger and cheaper, but not as flexible as other bead stringing wires. Hope that helps!

[@angeliquerael]

What about when the wire gets an awkward bend to it and you can't straighten it back out? It loses its illusion once the wire is "crimped." any suggestions on how to fix that?

[@TheONeilSisters]

Great question. Once the wire gets a bend or a crimp it's nearly impossible to fix it. You could try to hide the bend under one of the beads. Or start over with fresh wire. Hope that helps! J&K

[@vimpihyd]

can we use monophilacent or fishing wire as we dont get the beadalon wires here.

[@TheONeilSisters]

+vimpihyd Yes! Great option! It will look even more magical on monofilament! Just be sure to choose a strong one. Let us know how it works!

[@jeantaylor2308]

You can also,use pearls. Another video for a somewhat similar necklace is at kzbin.info/www/bejne/n161lqutec2kfpI. I think this one is more detailed.

[@TheONeilSisters]

Pearls would be lovely!! Thanks for the tip! J&K

[@jeantaylor2308]

If only there was a bead store any way hear here!

[@TheONeilSisters]

Where do you live Jean? There are lots of great stores online if you can't find a bead shop nearby. You can also watch for bead shows. They are like quilting shows or sewing shows. They come to town once or twice a year and rent out a big hall. Lots of vendors. So much fun! J&K

[@wellofbeersheba]

I am in Australia so I am guessing the eeny tiny size must an American measurement :)

[@TheONeilSisters]

+wellofbeersheba Funny! If you need the actual measurement, let us know and we'll measure it for you. Something more precise than eeny tiny!

[@winningnumbers]

you don't cover the crimp tubes??? or am I missing something here?

[@TheONeilSisters]

No we don't cover the crimp tubes in this design. You certainly can if you want, but we like the smaller size of the crimp beads without covers. Here's the how-to on our blog: runningwithsisters.com/how-to-bead-a-crystal-illusion-necklace-2/ Cheers, Jennifer & Kitty

[@winningnumbers]

@@TheONeilSisters OK Thank you for the reply
