  • Bead Inlay Buckle by Bryan Petersen
  • pop-up prongs and riveted solution
  • Ultracolor grout does not require a sealing step
  • Mapei grout in white, biscuit and warm gray, small tubs for $6 at Lowes
  • here’s how I would design a setting for a jar lid glass bead inlay integrating a sawn pin stem. this example has an extra tab at the bottom for a drop charm put one at the top to make a bail for a pendant
  • This is a cold-connect-ready pin stem drilled and sawn from sheet using a paper clip wire for the stem, I would attach this to my jar lids before beginning inlay process.
