I'm new to beading and I would like to work with freshwater
pearls,making braceletsand earrings. At present the average size head pins are to large for the pearl holes. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I' at a deadend right now. Arlene427

I can make them to whatever gauge you want, it's a bit expensive if you're
international, but if you're in the UK I may be a reasonable option! Charlie. "arlene427" wrote in message om...

22 or 24 gauge should work just fine.

That's good to know because the pendant I made last night went without
pearls because my headpins were too big. Thanks! -- Starlia Klopman www.klopmanstudios.com "Kathy N-V" wrote in message . giganews.com...
