    I would say the thin wall are probably to fragile.  I once had a
    customer bring in 3 necklaces (24" ea.) of 4mm garnets with every
    10th bead a thin wall gold bead.  All but 6 or so of the gold beads
    were dented - and the necklaces had never been worn.  He was asking
    me to 'please remove the dents', I had to tell him I didn't have any
    way to do that but could restring and replace the gold beads.  He
    decided the price for that was too much.
