But these stainless steel findings were fine for me too.<br /><br />But I have come across some women who cannot even wear sterling silver. So those few, I suggest niobium which is used for pacemakers.The Beading Gemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10373750828368944711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312145685876120575.post-69798112326473627372013-07-26T10:37:45.080-04:002013-07-26T10:37:45.080-04:00Hi Ms. Pearl, Thanks for posting about the Stainle...Hi Ms. Pearl, Thanks for posting about the Stainless steel, saw them in the store weeks ago but I am always leery of trying.<br /><br />My mom "burns thru metal" so I am very careful about the brands I choose. <br /><br />Anzia aka Zia Parks Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058609243787199116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312145685876120575.post-38910313455259660522013-07-25T08:46:48.661-04:002013-07-25T08:46:48.661-04:00Thanks again!

When my husband came back from Canada last month , he brought some components from there , but frankly I was disappointed as he did not bring the seed beads that I had asked him to . BUT , after I read this post and saw the lovely things you have created with these and I am thrilled ! Coz the components that he has picked up for me are also similar and from Cousin Corporation and Prima beads too !

Lovely.<br /><br />Nice to know that their stainless steel is not noticeably magnetic. I once purchased some stainless steel chain and then realized I could not use a magnetic clasp with it because it was attracted to the magnet. It was not a pretty sight, sort of like wearing a skirt with a lot of static cling. :DAlmost Precioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02349435936032378395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312145685876120575.post-3669376155852578712013-07-24T11:45:27.577-04:002013-07-24T11:45:27.577-04:00Your designs are very elegant, Pearl... good luck ...Your designs are very elegant, Pearl... good luck with your new opportunity!Monique (A Half-Baked Notion)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16227965573117684221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312145685876120575.post-16953365111914533322013-07-24T11:43:08.738-04:002013-07-24T11:43:08.738-04:00Thanks everyone for the kind comments!Thanks everyone for the kind comments!The Beading Gemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10373750828368944711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312145685876120575.post-87008567935998540352013-07-24T11:33:09.986-04:002013-07-24T11:33:09.986-04:00I really LOVE what you've done with the compon...I really LOVE what you've done with the components Pearl!

Over here, many people like stainless steel jewelry (eg chain maille) because of the strength and durability. Stainless steel jewelry is often used for masculine jewelry.<br /><br />Some readers are telling me that they have been so looking forward to more stainless steel components.<br /><br />But having said that, there are market differences. So stainless steel may not be appropriate for the Indian market. <br /><br />Please note that ordinary steel which is not stainless is not that popular.The Beading Gemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10373750828368944711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312145685876120575.post-19424568538682556862013-07-24T10:44:43.290-04:002013-07-24T10:44:43.290-04:00Not sure if I have the time to go to the Gem Expo ...Not sure if I have the time to go to the Gem Expo but if I do, I will check you out!The Beading Gemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10373750828368944711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312145685876120575.post-40208814529387721252013-07-24T10:43:59.074-04:002013-07-24T10:43:59.074-04:00Barbara,

As far as I know, lead is not typically used in these alloys. <br /><br />I tested these stainless steel components with a magnet and found they were not very magnetic at all. This suggests that the other lesser components might be manganese, nitrogen and carbon according to this article here :<br /><br />http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=why-dont-magnets-work-on<br /><br />If there were any nickel, it was below the amount needed to irritate my skin!<br /><br />To be sure, we'd have to ask Prima.The Beading Gemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10373750828368944711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312145685876120575.post-50555860891246632262013-07-24T09:20:44.393-04:002013-07-24T09:20:44.393-04:00Hi, Pearl,
