Your creation will not only have a smooth outer edge, but also will have much more stability and rigidity.

Jewelry Findings
|
|
The things in this section are mostly metal and glass components, which are incorporated into jewelry items. Findings are the structure upon which ornamentation is glued, soldered or fused. The ornamentation can be fused glass, gems, beads, insects, pebbles -- whatever items you deem "ornamental," and are lightweight enough to do the job. Findings include jump rings, ear wires, tie bars, and bails, to name a few.

Pressed Flowers
|
|
Put one of these between two pieces of clear glass, or between a bevel and a piece of clear glass, wrap the resulting sandwich with copper foil or lead, and you will have a neat little piece of work. These are real flowers, not your imitation crepe paper and wire stuff. They were grown in the good old U.S. of A. and are 100 percent American. Each package contains from 3 to 8 flowers, depending upon their size.
