VidelR asked:


I buy my jewelry from department stores like Macy and also places like Walmart. Over time some of these jewelry tarnish. I want to clean them using tarnish remover, but how do I know if the jewelry is made out of silver, brass, steel, or whatnot? Will a tarnish remover work on most of the jewelry pieces or will it ruin some of them? Thanks.

Karl O asked:


I just started beading and cant seem to get the crimping bead on tight enough when attaching a clasp or jump ring. I pull the beading wire through the crimping bead twice (in opposite directions). After I crimp the bead, it seems tight but then when I pull to see if it is tight, it comes apart.

I want to get some tribal coins, like the ones you find on coin belts and bras for belly dancing. I want to make some hair wraps and attach the coins to them, so I need coins with the little rings already attached.

Where could I find these?
