Beading Wire Secures Bracelets

Question: Hi, I really loved looking through your website.  You make a lot of beautiful things.
Could you tell me what the stones are strung on for the below bracelet?   Is it flexible?  How pink are the stones?  Quartz Bracelet 11 Clasp Rose Tourmaline Pink Crystal Healing Stone 7.8"
Thanks so much.

Answer: Hi, thank you for your email and interest in I dig Crystals bracelets. Yes, this bracelet is flexible. All of the clasp bracelets are strung on beading wire:
Top-rated Accu-Flex professional-quality beading wire is strong, flexible, kink-resistant and easy to knot and crimp. Accu-Flex beading wire utilizes an advanced wire-bundling technology, resulting in increased strength and durability, while still maintaining flexibility for a nice drape.

The Rose Quartz is a little shade bolder than pale pink. These are natural stones, not dyed.

If you need any other information about this or any other piece, please let me know!

Sincerely,
Sheila Satin

How to Soften Leather Cords

3mm Leather Cord for Pendants


New leather cords may be stiff. A few ideas to soften your leather cord before wearing with your crystal healing pendant are as follow:

1. Flex the cord back and forth, slowly and smoothly with your fingers to loosen the fibers. This will take some time and you don't want to overdo it, which may risk the cord from cracking. But, this is the most affordable and least messy method.

2. Rub oil into the cord.

3. Leather softening applications, leather oil can be found at equestrian and saddle shops or a leather retail shop (also online). Follow directions on the bottle.
