Judy -

    I made a woven seed bead necklace for my dad (I know it sounds
    feminine but it wasn't!) and unfortunately he wore it in the shower,
    playing golf (in SC in the summer), etc. I used nylon thread (Nymo)
    and it also is not up to the task of constant wear, with all the
    sweat and chemicals that involves. My brothers have been more careful
    with their necklaces, which are still in great shape. I can't think
    of anything other than chain or maybe a woven metal chain that would
    take the kind of beating we're talking about for very long.
    Tigertail, perhaps. 

    It makes me feel good that the guys like the pieces enough to wear
    them all the time, but - especially with woven pieces - a lot of time
    is going down the drain when they aren't cared for properly. I'm sure
    that's the same kind of frustration the jewelers on the list feel
    when people wash dishes with their pearl rings on or other such
    horrors.
