If you send me your email address (mine is anne@annemade-jewelry.com ) I'll send you my Torsade Necklace tutorial, which explains how to keep your multistrand necklaces twisted. That being said, I kinda like the way yours looks. :) <br />Anne<br /><br />http://www.annemade-jewelry.com/kits.htm#torsadeAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03633003675094272407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6981148196842031804.post-32575402320891051372012-05-24T22:30:34.822-04:002012-05-24T22:30:34.822-04:00I really like the colors of the beads you used wit...I really like the colors of the beads you used with this necklace. I think it works well to have the endcaps just where you have placed them in the necklace.

I really liked the selection of beads.<br /><br />The only solution I've come across for getting the "twist" to stay is to crimp the final ends of the strands in the opposite order from the beginning ends...if that makes sense.Silver Parrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09873603171743392110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6981148196842031804.post-61222194646559284532012-05-21T19:30:14.368-04:002012-05-21T19:30:14.368-04:00nice sue!

I'd love to hear the answer to the twisting dilemma as well.

The colors are gorgeous, the end caps are perfect for a multi-strand necklace. For the LOS, so that you don't have to take it apart, can you just dip the clasp in and paint the solution on the other findings? As for the strands being more twisted, maybe weaving them loosely before connecting the second end would work. But I like it just the way it is!Cyndi Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05300974884525124898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6981148196842031804.post-43295582020997885812012-05-19T20:08:44.490-04:002012-05-19T20:08:44.490-04:00Gorgeous!!!

It was hard for me to photograph the caps to their best advantage, too.

I love all the different colored beads you used. And in my opinion I like the twist just like it is.
