if anyone wants to know, this bracelet is discontinued. somebody has already bought it and at my company we have a no-jewelry-repeats policy.

It would be great to make a necklace to match. I personally like memory wire because it's so easy to put on and take off. But I was told before I made my first piece to make sure I used cutters made especially for this type of wire, otherwise I'd lose many nice pairs of pliers! So far the best cutters I've found were in my husbands toolbox-he gave me two pairs of Craftsman! Who says mechanics tools can't be used for jewelry-making? Thanks for the project-you will probably make a lot of beaders try this very satisfying type of beading!

yeah, that's a good idea! i agree, memory wire is really fun. my mom said the same about pliers. i agree, as long as the tool workes, it doesn't matter what it was made for. thank you for your very considerate comment!

oh, and also, i've heard that they make memory wire that is big enough to wear as a necklace... i'm not sure where you could find it, but try this website: firemountaingems.com
