Traditionally, baronial coronets are decorated with pearls or other “spheroid” decoration. I decided to modify a method I’d seen used to mount pearls on another coronet to add blue glass beads on ours. I started with the beads, some small brass tubing, and some head pins.
I had intended to have the bead sit on top of the tubing, held in place by the pin, but as it turned out the tubing actually fit perfectly inside the hole in the bead.
The pin was still needed to keep the bead from slipping off, so I inserted the pin with a tiny bit of E6000 to keep it in place.
Rather than relying on my questionable soldering skills, I used more E6000 to mount each bead on the back side of the coronet points.
