Did you find that beaded wire was very fragile and easy to break?

Maybe:) is it about the 2 o'clock area? At any rate its a very good joint. I have some of that material and can't bend it at all, like 2 degrees and it breaks. I have annealed it but maybe not good enough. I planned to make a pendent with that beaded edge just like you did, but silver bead on copper. I guess I will try to anneal it again, I love the look. Again super nice job!!!
