As this is fine silver the ends ball up perfectly, but the links are very soft.

So, tumble to harden.

By the way.

This is what I did with the other half of the amethyst.

    Beautiful! Wow!

  2. The chain is beautiful–I love making chains so I’ll give this one a try! I also love using fine silver–have you made any loop-in-loop chains, where you fuse the links closed?
