And Another Thing
I’ve had these new and gorgeous earwires
(T2878 and T3216) and links ((S3230 and
S3232) from Nina Designs for quite some
time, so I had to mention them here. They
are so pretty, beautifully fi nished, made in
Indonesia, and an awesome way to fi nish
your next creation.

Polish It Off
It’s a good idea to always have a spare couple of textile attach-
ment sets for all of your polishing needs. This set of 12 felt burs with
⅛-inch shanks (321-8TL) from Fire Mountain Gems and Beads comes in
a useful assortment of shapes including cylinder, bullet, cone, and inverted
cone, and can be used with any compound requiring a textile attachment.
I got two sets and dedicated one to tripoli and one to jeweler’s rouge. The
handy carrying case makes them travel friendly and ready to roll.
