I I AM AFAN OF MURANO GLASS BRACELETS WITH THE SILVER BEADS THAT GO WITH THEM. I USE VARIOUS MEANS TO KEEP THE LITTLE SILVER PIECES FROM TURNING BLACK, BUT THIS IS THE HANDIEST TOOL I HAVE FOUND FOR THEM. GENERALLY THE BEADS ARE STERLING; IF THEY ARE NOT, THIS MAY DAMAGE THEM, SO KNOW YOUR DANGLES AND BANGLES.
