Green necklace

Here are some pics:
Not the best pics, admittedly, but I felt like taking the pics now rather than later.
I decided to go with two strands instead of three, which I felt would be "too much." It was a bugger getting the strands onto the clasp. The original formula for this said to attach the strands to a split ring and then put the split ring on the clasp.
Sounds good on paper, but what happened is that the only way to get the split ring on the clasp was to use split ring pliers, and these bent part of the split open. Squashing the split ring with pliers didn't help to close it. So, the two strands (beading wire) tended to fall off the split ring.
I replaced the split ring with a jump ring but felt nervous about it...I ended up using two jump rings and it feels pretty secure.
On the other part of the clasp, of course you can't use any rings at all otherwise you won't be able to pass that side of the clasp into the other side (it's a toggle clasp).
Anyhow I wore it today and I felt pretty pleased with it.Labels: pics
