| Starting the Pearl purl from the centre bottom |

| Encase the thread around the Pearl purl, and make sure it clicks in between the beads on the Pearl purl |

| Circle complete - meeting both ends - head on |
Pearl purl thread is used mainly for outlining and the finishing of gold work. Outlining is normally applied after most parts of the design have been worked, but in the case of the centre, where I will be filling it with chip work, the outline is applied first, and then the centre can be filled.
I used No.1 Gilt Pearl purl, and started the circle from the bottom middle - a good tip if ever working lettering. However, this logo of mine, is symmetrical, and therefore does not have a top or bottom as such.
