Mary S - Sweet Chick says:Love it! I have a thing for rondelles so this just naturally falls into the ‘love it’ category.
I’ve got a question. How well do the “S” hooks work on bracelets? I’m always afraid they might un-hook while they are being worn. What’s your experience with them? Thank you!

doktordesigns says:I haven’t had problem with the s-hook clasps, functionally. I often wish I could find smaller ones, though — sometimes I think they add too much “blank” space in the bracelet, proportionally.
Thanks for the kind comments, everyone.
