Well, I had to make cord ends and a clasp for it as I didn't have either in bronze. I did have 20G bronze wire and this is how I went about making the findings. The 20G wire gives a more delicate look. You could also go for thicker wire like 18 G or lower for the clasp. This style of clasp is ideal for chain maille jewelry because the double loops resemble the double rings used in the weaves. COIL ENDSI coiled some lengths of wire around a knitting needle. Cut a piece of wire about 4 inches long and bend it into half. Trim the raw ends even and make loops. There you have it, a simple little clasp.

UNDAC TEAM ARRIVED TO ASSESS GRML’S TAILING DAM. The team will assess the tailings dam starting today.
Photo credit:Pacific Scoop. A three-person United Nations Disaster Assessment and Coordination, UNDAC, team have arrived in the country to assess the tailings storage facility at the Gold Ridge Mine following the recent flash floods in the country. There are concerns, rising water levels in the dam, located about 30 kilometres from the capital Honiara, may have weakened, potentially placing around 8-thousand people in nearby villages at risk. In addition, the site contains chemicals common to gold mining facilities. Team Leader, Ms Emilia Wahlstrom says they are here to support the Government by conducting an independent assessment of the stability of the dam and by taking samples for chemical analysis, adding there are a number of concerns at the site and for the thousands of people who live in neighbouring communities.

I have been seeing a lot of bird nest jewelry around lately.
They are beautiful and I love the trend so I thought I would try making my own. These turned out to be really easy to make and require just a few simple supplies. This necklace would make a lovely Mother's day gift, which just happens to be coming up this weekend! What you'll need: - Jewelry wire (I prefer using a 24 gage because it is easier to manipulate but the 20 gage can work well too with the help of some round nose pliers) - pearls or glass beads - necklace chain - jump ring and a clasp Select the beads you want, string them onto your wire and arrange them as you'd like. then simply wrap the wire around the beads wrap some wire in the space between each bead (I like the look of three loops but you could just do one or two if you prefer) this is what the back looked like.
Now attach a jump ring and a clasp to the end of a necklace chain and this is what you end up with :) I love how each one is so different.
