Our Lucie expert answers you (03/07/2025 15:16:05)
Bonjour, la différence entre un fil rond et un fil semi-rond réside dans leur forme :

Le fil rond est parfaitement cylindrique, avec une section circulaire régulière sur toute sa longueur.
Le fil semi-rond, quant à lui, est plat sur une face et bombé sur l’autre. 

Le choix entre les deux dépend de l’effet recherché dans la création. Merci

Bonjour, selon le type de fermeture que vous souhaitez réaliser pour vos bagues ou vos joncs, il vous faudra utiliser du fil dur ou semi-dur. Chaque modèle nécessite un type de fil différent, adapté à sa forme et à sa solidité. Voici quelques tutoriels qui devraient vous inspirer et vous aider dans votre choix : 
Bague en gold filled quartz vert
Bague semainier en gold filled
Bague torsadée en gold filled
Jonc torsadé en gold filled

Bonjour des perles de 8 mm ou qui ont un trou de 0,8 mm ? Si elles font 8 mm, je partirai sur du fil câblé. Mais j'aurais besoin de la taille du trou des perles pour vous donner un diamètre de fil. Voici un tuto pour vous aider : https://www.perlesandco.com/tutoriels/t30672-diy-collier-perles-d-eau-douce-pres-du-cou-pour-mariage-ou-soiree.html

moi qui vous suggérais de faire une synthèse avec les diamètres de fils et ceux des trous des perles, je n'avais pas tout vu sur les petits détails qui font tout sur votre site.
Merci, j'imprime et garde ce précieux document pour faire les commandes.
