Show us your tin cup pearls

Wow, that'll be most excellent! A tutorial means it'll be easy to find, thank you :)
 
My theory is 365 necklaces for 365 days...you could do more, say for day/evening.

Haha, I should show this to my DH... He thinks I have way too much jewelry -- and its WAY under 365...
 
Those pliers are cool Pearl Dreams! My loops are always different sizes, this may help!
 
Hey PD, thanks for showing us the tools! How do you like the grip on the newest pliers? It looks comfy.
....


Yes, very comfortable so far...ask me again after I've done a number of loops in a row!
 
PD, I may buy some of those small loopers. I've been using a sharpie marker to make a line on the pliers to keep the size consistent, but it seems to wear off quickly. Thanks very much for showing the pliers.

Jersey Pearl, I am still laughing about your "365 necklaces" remark! I've got a long way to go!!

I think I found 2016's new years resolution!
 
Pattye, I always used the sharpie trick too, but this is definitely easier, and the wire can't slip down to a wider part of the pliers.

Each and every tin cup style in this thread is gorgeous. I don't own one yet...hmm
 
Thanks Pattye! This pearl is such a unique color it needed it's very own setting. It is just a tad over 8mm, and without any surface blemishing (aside from the drill holes!) It came from the lot I purchased from Jacques. The pig tales are showing "gold" in the photo but are white gold, as is the 16" chain.
 
JerseyPearl, the color of that pearl is just breathtaking!
