Very nice as always. I must ask a question, hope it's not stupid but,... What does the SS stand for? My husband and I was having a discussion about it and I need to have it clarified. Thanks so much!! Tonja  |

herm i've got 48 now - 50 was my goal. i am going to make it!
tweetie i do the spiral with my fingers but remember i'm using ds wire which feels like hh by the time i get to the bail. if you are using hh starting out yours will feel like full hard wire by the bail and you won't have any choice but to use the pliers.

Ok Thanks for the info on that. Next question please.... Does the SS wire wraps tarnish? If so, does the tarnish remover hurt the stones? I'm learning everything you guys are teaching me!! Thank you!! Tonja |

Yes SS will tarnish most cleaners will hurt the stone. Here is a good recipe for cleaning SS. 1 aluminum baking pan 1 tbs baking soda 1 tbs salt and warm water. Place Jewelry into mixture let soak for about 15 min and then gently wipe off. This works great. Another solution is to buy argentium SS wire this stuff is great it barely tarnishes at all.
Great looking cab and wrap kim once again the queen has shown us what wire wrapping is.
