Finished product
About this design:
A girlfriend is buying this and she wanted a double chain, so I added a piece on so it would drape. Also added a spiral on the earrings to match the pendant. I really enjoyed making this.

Peggy3 says:Very pretty set. My favorite colors. I like how the chain w/ the pendant is under the 2nd chain.
What kind of stones did you use? Jasper?
I know what you mean by those displays in dust. Any spec shows up – packing tape will pick it up.
Black is an awesome background for silver and aqua.
Also, a different background besides velvet won’t show the lint as much. Hope you don’t mind my 2 cents

JC Hamm says:Thank-you ladies.Peggy3, the focal is a glass bead, with cyrstal bicones.My friend is very happy with it, I was alittle worried about the way I added the extra chain. I did’nt just want the chain to hang beside the other,I had wanted it to drape.
