Gems Swanky Basics
When working on a jewelry project it's important to learn how to finish it properly. After all, you just spent a lot of time putting the jewelry piece together, now you need to finish it with the right touch.
What Toggle to use?
When picking that special finishing touch (the perfect toggle) keep in mind the following: - The size of the beads you are using in relationship to the size of the toggle to maintain balance of the creation
- The metal finish of your toggle should reflect the metals designed within your creation
- The room or clearance the bar of the toggle will need to work smoothly
- The length or size of the toggle as it will add length to your creation
- The type of crimp and or crimp cover you will be using
- Is the toggle part of the design, the main design element, or just a closer
