Yes, I do sometimes work with mediums other than memory wire. Dione is nearly all pearls and river shell, with the pendant being silver with blue crystals. You can't see them, but the clasp of the necklace is secured to a pair of blue teardrop shaped agate beads. I am somewhat tempted to restring this one, as I now know what I am doing with crimp beads. If you haven't used those, give them a shot. Less mess than glue, and just as strong. Anyhow, Dione came about because I had a ton of blue river shell beads, and no idea how to use them. Then I found the pendant lurking in one of my jewelery boxes. I figured, I have pearls and shell...why not go for a sea theme?
