Jewelry making #12

Heh heh...verrrrrrry interesting.

I'm in the test-drive stage now...and it is interesting. Pretty much as I'd expected, what looks good sitting on your dresser, does not necessarily work the same way "on."

I've already taken apart my two green necklace designs. And, I have worked out a way to do the back. That's actually quite key. It is the front and the back that make the necklace, but you never think about the back until you start wearing the pieces.

I'm trying out a few things actually...one thing that irritates me about wearing a necklace with a center, is constantly having to adjust the dang thing. I don't mind if it's a little bit off-center but I hate having the center part migrate too much to the side.

Likewise, I hate necklaces that slide backwards. So in both cases, the weight distribution is important.

I have some ideas for designs...I'm thinking, ten to twenty designs at the most. Or, if there are more, then they're going to emerge over time. It takes days to produce a single design that I'm happy with. Once it's done, obviously, then it can be replicated infinitely.
