How to use pearl sticks?
Pearl sticks are made to make small pendants. One end has either a ball or a flat, as on a nail that acts as a stop.
It is important that the pearl rod fits with the hole in the pearl, that is, the pearl's hole is not so large that it just goes beyond the little stopping of the pearl bar.
If the pearl's hole is too large, one can solve it by using A minor gem first or possibly a pearl bowl.
The end that sticks out of the pearl one can make a small jump ring of. If you want to make it extra durable, it is a good idea to make an 'eight' where you make 2-3 windings under the box. See our tutorial, 'DIY 8th', under highlights on our Instagram profile.
