K.B. asked: I’ve seen some interesting jewelry for sale on crafter sites (like Etsy etc) that appear to be metal that is pinkish in color, either by the metal’s property itself, or it’s been colored somehow.
I can’t seem to find anything for sale on the jewelry supply sites anywhere.
Anyone seen anything like this? Either already colored or a process by which you can color it yourself?
I’m talking about either chain link for bracelets, or the links and findings.

scarlet asked: When i’m finishing up making a necklace (with wire) and putting the clasps on, what is a good technique to make the wire look neat, and also not have that little bit at the end that sticks out and pokes you?

loriannajenkins asked: I am trying to find some blank pendants with edges that i will customize (e.g. with printed paper) and fill with resin. Does anyone know where I can find a good selection of these and what exactly they’re called? I think a blank pewter pendant would be ideal. Thanks!
Um thanks, FHWPEG, but as much as I like fake Luis Vuitton, that really has nothing to do with my question??
