I know this was a long time ago and you probably won’t see it but I really appreciate the video. I have accumulated a ton of vintage beads and costume jewelry and have been very beginner style working on creating some new out of old. These kids of specific tutorials with really awesome video are helpful and I appreciate it scraps

[@blessedblessed6117]

I would use the black lava beads with that first set of pendants. So cute!!!!!

[@maryellencouillard4238]

You did a wonderful job teaching how to do this. So appreciated and inspiring!

[@inthemiddles40]

Black lava beads would be my choice

[@marieleppala4804]

I have been watching a lot of these videos and wanted to tell you that you have done a great job explaining the steps necessary and the video photography is great. Thank you for the video!

[@joannadelbuono6132]

black lava - is really the best option it makes the druzy pop.

[@AbbiBerta]

+Joanna DelBuono it really does!

[@kathy4451]

I agree

[@iammep7812]

That crimper is awesome!

[@AbbiBerta]

I agree! It’s the only crimper I use!

[@lulu43751]

@@AbbiBerta where can I get that crimper?

[@AbbiBerta]

It’s linked above in the video description. 😊

[@giulianareed8140]

I love the black lava beads! Very elegant :)

[@AbbiBerta]

They’re a great look! Thanks for watching!

[@mollycross4796]

Black lava beads would be my choice as I am trying to go for an aromatherapy niche with my jewelry.

[@kiev68]

Can you please let me know what size of bead stringing wire you used for this necklace? I'm new at this. Thanks.

[@20tessyluv]

thanks for the tutorial! Would be nice though to see the whole finished necklace with the chain

[@blowersm]

Before you issued the challenge I was thinking I would use 3 or 5 black beads and then three or five white beads, alternating around the necklace in a color block fashion.

[@Fgysjtfxhufv]

Thank you so much for your tutorial! One question, what’s the wire you are using ?

[@dewayne6930]

I love watching jewelry videos on KZbin but I have a question ❓ is u giving away jewelry kits?

[@stephaniewilliams2255]

What kind of wire is this? I got "jewelry wire" but was confused by all the gauge choices. I picked 20 gauge at a guess, but it's too stiff to do some of this.

[@MsRobbi4]

Black Lava beads is my choice

[@AbbiBerta]

+Robin Huels good choice!

[@blessedblessed6117]

Great tutorial. Thank you for sharing!!!!

[@donnaswaby5472]

I personally like the white beads...a combination of both might look nice also.

[@AbbiBerta]

Great idea!

[@kathyfavorite8993]

Loved the video & would like to know all tools,string & wire that was used.

[@SusanneDonoghue]

What gauge wire did you use? My pendants often wear through the wire and break it.

[@sonjamcalister1812]

Nice thanks soooo much for tha share

[@AbbiBerta]

Thanks for watching!

[@tamileblanc970]

Why not mix the 2 stone Beads together. White and black. ?? Just a thought..

[@reninalewis1729]

what the name of the 2 pliers you use to close the jump ring in the beginning of video??

[@cherylharris5695]

I prefer the black lava beads

[@مسعدحميد-ع3ع]

Thank you very much. I wish you more success and progress forever

[@AbbiBerta]

+مسعد حميد thanks

[@Boss_Ladyyy]

New sub here. Thank you for this video...your necklace was beautiful

[@radioactivedetective6876]

What gauge wire should I use? I am just getting started. Will be making my very first necklace. Can you please tell me what type of striging wire and climp beads and other stuff I need to buy to get started?

[@angelamullis7343]

Beautiful!!!

[@AbbiBerta]

+Angela Mullis thank you!

[@murphy1384]

I personally like the combination of both the beads. Mary

[@AbbiBerta]

That would be neat!

[@sunflowergirl1968]

Thank you

[@kgarrett961]

I would choose the black lava beads.

[@AbbiBerta]

+K Garrett they’re so cool!

[@carolynsinyard1306]

Love the necklaces.

[@nabilariskalla9197]

Great video, excellent instructions, beautiful necklace.. love it❤️

[@AbbiBerta]

+Nabila Riskalla thank you so much!

[@0110rroberts]

i would use a mixed pattern with majority lava stone and a few white beads (not many at all) spaced strategically.

[@SusanneDonoghue]

I would use them both--two white, then one black, then two white, etc.

[@jacqueline4074]

Great video. What size and brand of jewelry wire did you use? It seems very stiff and sturdy.

[@AbbiBerta]

Thanks! We use Medium Soft Flex for this project. www.beadplace.net/apps/webstore/products/show/2956514

[@bibimcgill]

This was so helpful. Thank you!!! Did I miss it our can you tell me what was the gauge of your jewelers wire? I want to use a pure copper wire because it is a protective energy conductor. Thanks so much!!!

[@AbbiBerta]

Hi there! The wire that we used in this project is Medium Soft Flex which is .019". It's a stainless steel nylon coated jewelry wire which is designed to be flexible and strong. I don't believe you'll have a good end result using solid copper wire for this project.

[@bibimcgill]

Abbi Berta Thank you for that information. Then nylon coated stainless steel it is.

[@xiocomaraebanks8816]

That was a great tutorial!

[@amytomlin1]

Help! I use memory wire but I find it hard to shape it into a necklace shape, then I feel elastic isn’t strong enough sometimes i cut some wire and use it as a bar necklace then add a chain...

[@paulinefowler6686]

Black lava, makes the gold pendant stand out.

[@tinahhhsorondo8398]

Thank this video was so helpful!

[@AbbiBerta]

Thanks! Glad you think so!

[@charlesnelms3222]

I would use the black

[@teresamurrieta4632]

Black Lava Beads.

[@mariabooth8104]

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@AbbiBerta]

Thank you!

[@ramonagarrett3181]

The light green

[@agardner4264]

What diameter is the jewelers wire? Great video!

[@AbbiBerta]

It’s .019” Medium Soft Flex

[@karedreher2816]

I love the black lava beads!!! I’ll be in this weekend to pick up the kit!!! Luv ur videos!!!!

[@AbbiBerta]

Thank you!

[@karenraabis5296]

I can’t choose they look great

[@AbbiBerta]

It was such a tough choice!

[@mercedesc3123]

I would use both.

[@conniealford1020]

Hi Abby!! Great video. I always learn from you. I have a request. Could you please do a video on how to make a set of "bubble" jewelery?! Necklace, bracelet and earrings. That would be awesome!! Thank you. ☯️☮️💜✌️🙏🌫️

[@AbbiBerta]

Thank you! I'm not familiar with bubble jewelry and when I try to search for it, a lot of different things come up. Could you link me to something?

[@rebelleshow7782]

Black Lava here 👀

[@AbbiBerta]

+Rebelle Show good choice!

[@melh7014]

Black lava is better to me

[@dons7000]

Thank you~~

[@leopardrockssherrylemeille1192]

How much should I be charging??

[@AbbiBerta]

That really depends on your materials and your market. Check out some craft fairs, boutiques, and art fairs in your area if you plan on selling locally. Make sure you factor in your time and expertise.

[@madcatjo]

I'd attatch a clasp via a jump ring to the pendant so you could attatch it to either. 👍 (If I had to pick one, it'd be the black one.)

[@AbbiBerta]

Great idea!

[@judyeldridge5786]

Lava beads

[@elainebulman185]

I would do the white...

[@AbbiBerta]

Good pick! It’s definitely our most popular seller!

Thanks foryuo

[@AbbiBerta]

[@DianeSwett]

I like the black lava beads with this pendant but I would use the White Beads. I'd choose the black in a different bead form.

[@AbbiBerta]

Good thinking!

[@pegasis12000]

Mixture of both beads

[@AbbiBerta]

Good idea!

[@kathyryan4153]

Black

[@AbbiBerta]

+Kathy Ryan good choice!

[@sharonmartin4002]

Howlite

[@AbbiBerta]

+Sharon Martin I think I need one of each because I can’t really choose.

[@sharonmartin4002]

Abbi Berta Hi Abbi I don’t string beads I do hand beaded wire links, can you tell me what the best way is to keep the pendants from spinning around back to front, front to back??? Any help would be awesome, Thanks Abbi 💜

[@AbbiBerta]

There are a couple of different reasons why that could be happening. Usually the culprit is that the pendant is top heavy or that the chain is a bit too fine for the length of the necklace. Using heavier chains for longer necklaces is a good rule or thumb. Without seeing the materials you’re working with, those are just my guesses. Feel free to send pics of what you’re using to The Bead Place’s FB page and we can maybe help you troubleshoot.

[@karenbrandon8620]

The white one because lava will tub off on you...
