I've made eyeglass and mask charms using 2mm, 3mm, and 4mm garnets. Garnet is the birthstone for January. The meaning of garnet is a symbol of reality. I've used gold surgical stainless steel findings. I'm using 0.2mm Ope-lon elastic thread, but wire is also an option. Please comment with your preference for gold or silver after liking the item if you wish to purchase. Thank you for visiting. We are open throughout the New Year holidays. Since this is a home restaurant, there may be times when I am slow to respond due to work. I will be sure to contact you. I apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.
