I have been wearing the same labradorite necklaces since 2005. Staring with fishing line and then graduating to actual jewelry material. I have been to bead shops and made and remade the necklace countless times over the years and it just keeps breaking. Different spots but mostly at the clasp and crimping spot. I have bought all the things I think I need and it just happens over and over.

The cylinder beads are very hard to find and in all my years of searching I have only found a few strands once. Bought them up immediately. I’m so afraid that it will break somewhere and I will lose them all forever.

Any advice would be more than welcome. I’m even thinking to taking it to a real jeweler and paying them to make a professional necklace.
