I’ve been interested in incorporating the necklace clasp into some new necklace designs.  I’ve just used some twisted wire toggles on these two necklaces, but I’m pleased with how they came out.  I think I may need to crimp the wire down that attaches the dangle to the clasp so that the necklace will hang properly (and not be lopsided), but other than that I’m pleased.  The pink one is especially stunning in person, since the creamy color of the pearls reflects all the different hues of pink.    I have some ideas for wire work and metal clay clasps rattling around in my head; hopefully I can get them fabricated quickly.   

I spent last Saturday trying to get some consistency between my banner on my blog and on my etsy and ruby lane sites.  It’s hard to edit a style sheet when you have no idea what you’re doing, but that didn’t stop me ;-)
