I received the boards back in decent time, as I selected DHL shipping for my address in the US. I was disappointed in the lack of ENIG copper due to the error, but the yellow of the FR4 was decent and the translucency actually adds to the look.
The finish looks good with a slight sheen. It does not scratch off with a fingernail. To ensure extra durability, you can look to put a final finish on the items, but for my purposes their finish appears to be adequate.
The jewelry hardware may be found at your local craft store or online in many places. I used:
- Two earring hooks
- Four split rings
- One length of chain
- One magnetic clasp
Using two pairs of small needle nose pliers, I carefully opened the split rings, added the earring hooks and the boards and closed up the split rings. For the pendant, it uses two split rings and a chain is put through. A clasp is added at the chain ends. The chain length is selected to fit where you want the pendant to fall.
And here I am wearing my new jewelry. I hope you enjoy making your own as much as I enjoyed making and wearing mine.
