Vanliga frågor
Att montera pärlor innebär vanligtvis:
- Borrning: Om den inte är förborrad, borra försiktigt ett hål i pärlan.
- Användning av lim: Applicera en liten mängd smyckeslim på stolpen eller tråden som ska hålla pärlan.
- Ställa pärlan: Placera pärlan på den limbelagda stolpen eller i en pärlkopp/fäste och låt den stelna.
When selecting the right-sized mount for a pearl, it's best to choose a cup diameter that is 1mm to 2mm smaller than the pearl's diameter. This allows for a snug fit, ensuring a professional and secure finish. Smaller mounts can work well on larger pearls because they offer better control when securing the pearl. However, larger mounts may be difficult to shape neatly around the pearl, leading to a less polished appearance. Always aim for a balance between size and precision for optimal results.
Välj en pärlstorlek som bekvämt passar in i pärlkoppen eller monteringen. Se till att det finns tillräckligt med plats för lim utan att pärlan är för lös. Pärlan ska sitta säkert och proportionellt i fästet, vilket kompletterar den övergripande designen.
